HEY CHILD lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard you got arrested in the street last night
Called me with a voice I didn't recognize
So you're numbin' the pain, stuck in your ways
Since we were kids, it was like this
But I will be there, I will be there for you

[Chorus]
Hey, child
Hey, child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright, oh
Hey, child
Hey, child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Back in '06, sellin' weed to the freshman kids
You were the yin to my yang, were never separate
And I know you've been hurtin', think you deserve it
How did it end up like this?
Everything will be fine if you just get through tonight

[Chorus]
Hey, child
Hey, child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright, oh
Hey, child
Hey, child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright
Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
My brother's got a baby on the way now
I hope that you'll meet him someday
I hope he don't make the same mistakes we made
And when I look at him in the eyes, I'll say

[Chorus]
Hey, child
Hey, child
You were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright, oh
Hey, child
Hey, child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright
Oh, oh

[Outro]
Hey, hey, child
Oh, oh
Hey, hey, child
You're born wild (We were born, we were born wild)
Let your neon lights keep shinin' bright
Oh, oh
