Born to Be Wild Lyrics

Steppenwolf

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
Or whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gotta make it happen
Put the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And this feelin' that I'm under
Yeah, darlin' gotta make it happen
Put the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true Nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
Or whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gotta make it happen
Put the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true Nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
That I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
