running wild

(Tempo: Mid-tempo, driving acoustic guitar riff with a subtle, soulful synth bass pulse underneath) (Verse 1 - Tom Petty Style) I was shifting gears before I learned to drive Just a restless kid trying to feel alive They said I grew up fast, said I grew up wild Just a jagged-edged heart of a runaway child I was lost out there where the pines stand tall Chasing paper dreams, waiting for the fall With a pocket full of nothing, not a single dime And a world that was moving on borrowed time. (Chorus - Nate Dogg Style) Yeah, she’s a flower from the sky, drifting down to me Only one I ever needed just to help me be free She helped me pass the time, keep the shadows at bay Turned my frown into a smile, washed the blues away Ever since I was small, yeah, I’ve been running too wild But she’s the only one who stayed, ever since I was a child. (Verse 2 - Tom Petty Style) The neon flickered on the edge of town When the weight of the night started pressing down I was looking for a signal, looking for a sign To quiet down the static screaming in my mind Then she bloomed in the smoke, like a secret prayer Sweet velvet comfort in the mountain air When the pockets were empty and the road was long She was the rhythm inside of my song. (Chorus - Nate Dogg Style) Yeah, she’s a flower from the sky, drifting down to me Only one I ever needed just to help me be free She helped me pass the time, keep the shadows at bay Turned my frown into a smile, washed the blues away Ever since I was small, yeah, I’ve been running too wild But she’s the only one who stayed, ever since I was a child. (Bridge - Tom Petty & Nate Dogg Duet) (Petty) I was running through the pines, chasing down the light (Nate) She was right there beside me, making it all right (Petty) The world got cold, but she kept the fire burning bright (Nate) She’s my lady, she’s my baby, she’s the joy in my life. (Outro - Nate Dogg style, ad-libbing over a steady Petty harmonica solo) Ooh, she’s my flower... From the sky, yeah. Helped me pass the time, baby. When I was feeling down, she turned it all around. Yeah, she been there since the start. Mary Jane... the only one in my heart. (Fade out)
