Johnny ran with a dangerous crowd  A rolling stone who liked his music real loud  And he don't give a damn about life he's livin'  Jesse tried to be the girl next door  Did what Daddy told her but she wanted more  She wasn't satisfied with the life she's livin'  Then jesse looked to find a different scene  Searchin' for the fountain of insanity  This rebel heart she needs a resless soul  And Johnny's just the man to make her lose control  'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul  Wild is the heart will it ever take it's toll  Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride  It's the wild in the heart that keeps this man alive  Well these two they make a hell of a pair  Tear up the town do it just for a dare  Spent their time on the run but they just call it livin'  Crossed the state line slept in every motel  But the past was catching up  Gonna take them to hell but their dreams haven't died  Well I just hope they're forgiven  Times got tough Johnny did what he could  Wound up with a gun didn't do him no good  Behind bars with a kid on the way  But Jesse's holding on she's living day by day  'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul  Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll  Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride  It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive  Six years later Johnny's out on parole  Jesse and their boy are waiting out on the road  I guess she's gonna have to take him back  But she says you'd better never ever leave me agian  'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul  Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll  Got the wild in his spirit got the wiwld in his pride  It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive
