What your mother don't know, she won't mind Her good advice was a waste of time You wanna live fast, cutting it fine Make hay while the sun shines No one there to say, you're wrong or right You've waited a lifetime Burning all your bridges tonight [Chorus] This is the wild life It's the wild life Wild life This is the wild life No stone left unturned Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned You might lose your way When you come out to play the wild life I may be too young but I've seen and done Everything that they say is fun I gotta find out for myself In the end there's no one else Every time I try to win I lose I'm tired of waiting Now I'm gonna make my own rules [Chorus] No stone left unturned Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned You might lose your way When you come out to play the wild life No one there to say you're wrong or right You've waited a lifetime Burning all your bridges tonight [Chorus] No stone left unturned Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned You might lose your way When you come out to play the wild life
