Wild One
Lyrics and melody by Jennifer Katusha
Music by Paul Riefert and Jeff Oxford
Fourth in line out of nine
Father’s little blue-eyed brother
Just a boy when you lost your mother
There wasn’t a good time that
You didn’t chase down
Always lived life in full color
And when the pain came
Instead of going insane
You shaped metal with your hands
And the pieces that you made
Live on to this day
Helping us all to understand
Chorus
Curious creator
Free spirit, rule breaker
You sure did know how to have fun
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one
You went where the wind blew
Never one to make plans
Threw ideas up in the air
Just let them fall where they’d land
Traveling the globe
Gathering tales to be told
Bringing them back home
Where you’d spin them into gold
And when the pain came
Instead of going insane
You shaped metal with your hands
And the pieces that you made
Live on to this day
Helping us all to understand
Chorus
Curious creator
Free spirit, rule breaker
You sure did know how to have fun
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one
Bridge
When all that you tried to forget from 69 reared up and took its toll
You held on for dear life to your inner child and just wouldn’t let go
Chorus 2
Curious creator
Dream maker, none braver
You showed us all how life was done
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one
Oooo you’re a wild one
Outro
Mmmm mmmm
Wild one
