I don't know I've been walking on These streets so long Where they're Calling me anymore But I think I must have seen a ghost If it's my illusions That keep me alive

And I was born to fight I ain't been knocked down yet I was born to fight I'm the surest bet There ain't no man no woman No beast alive that can beat me 'Cause I'm born to fight They're tryin' to take away my pride By stripping me of everything I own

Don't stand aside! While people make demands At first they'll take your liberties Then tie them 'round your hand When time goes by some day you'll find Their words are your command These times won't last and once they're gone they don't come back Well

The wild and the young They all have their dreams They've got to be free The sun never sets For souls on the run So close to the edge And high on the wire They are not wrong They're alive

Cause you shoulda seen the size of the guy's we've been fightin' But momma always taught us never to tell a lie Every girl we were with never cost any money And we drank more tequila than any man alive Looking back, they're better than they used to be

Beating like a hammer Help I'm alive My heart keeps beating like a hammer They're gonna eat me alive Hard to be soft Tough to be tender Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train If you're still alive My regrets are few
