Wild America

Wild on the boulevard
No name on your t-shirt
Night wild girlchild
Tough thumbs in your belt
On the eye shadow run
From a lover who beats you
Never admitting
The hurt can be felt
Ten days of driving
The strain started showing
All out of cigarettes
All out of pills
Did you fall out of love
By the ohio state line?
No romantic illusions
No promise of thrills
Running, running
Wild america
Runninmg on empty
Running on pride
Running, running
Wild america
Running on legends
And will to survive
A wild statistic
Caged by computer
Telling tales of torture
In the lincoln street jail
With masochist swagger
And shivering devilment
And bailbond bravado
As thin as it’s pale
Running, running
Wild america
Running on empty
Running on pride
Running, running
Wild america
Running on legends
And will to survive
