GUITARS & HARP INTRO)
runnin' with the boys for nights on end
never lookin' back on where I've been
in my wilder days,
wilder days
 
chasin' all the dreams that a young man dreams
findin' out the hard way, what freedom means
in my wilder days,
wilder days
 
I've been a lonely stranger out on a limb
lookin' for someone to take me in
love don't come easy - goin' through this stage
careful baby, of these wilder days
oh, wilder days
oh, wilder days
 
starin' at me with those innocent eyes
I'm tellin' you babe, I've learned to be wise
in my wilder days,
wilder days
 
you're ridin' it out on the stormy sea
takin' a chance on someone like me
in my wilder days,
wilder days
 
I've been a lonely stranger out on a limb
lookin' for someone to take me in
love don't come easy - goin' through this stage
careful baby, of these wilder days

oh, wilder days
oh, wilder days
oh, wilder days

oh, wilder days
(these are wilder days)
oh, wilder days
oh, wilder days
(you'd better be careful baby)
oh, wilder days
oh, wilder days
(these are wilder days)
oh, wilder days
oh, wilder days
(these are wilder days)
oh, wilder days
oh, wilder da
