The Wild One - Johnny Horton

The Wild One

Johnny Horton

(Merle Kilgore - Tillman Franks, COLUMBIA 41110, 1958)

Give me my cycle and a star-filled sky above
And a good looking woman with a heart full of love
I'll go to any honky tonk in any old town
'Cause I am the wild one, I'll never settle down

I am the wild one, I am the wild one
I am the wild one, I'll never settle down

I've got a gal in every town who claims she loves me so
I love 'em and leave 'em, I want 'em all to know
That when I hear that wild wind a-blowing down the road
I know I'll have to travel fast and leave without a load

I am the wild one, I am the wild one
I am the wild one, I'll never settle down

I am the wild one, I believe in traveling light
Just me and my cycle speeding through the night
I love a lot of women, I take 'em all around
I am the wild one, I'll never settle down

I am the wild one, I am the wild one
I am the wild one, I'll never settle down
