  • Down a back road
    Long, hot summer
    A couple kids runnin' loose and wild
    He kissed her
    She said, "mister
    Take an inch and I'll give you a mile

    I ain't here to do anything half-way
    Don't give a damn what anyone might say
    I just wanna free fall for a while"

    That rebel moon is shinin'
    Those stars burn like diamonds
    Hell bent on chasin' down that crazy slide
    I'll follow you where you're leading
    To the first sweet taste of freedom
    You got me runnin', baby
    Wild at heart

    About midnight, he tells her
    "I ain't got no come-on lines"
    "Well I'll love you, or I'll try to
    We got nothing to lose but time"

    Stick your hand into my back pocket
    Light me up like a bottle rocket
    I just wanna free fall for a while

    That rebel moon is shinin'
    Those stars burn like diamonds
    Hell bent on chasin' down that crazy slide
    I'll follow you where you're leadin'
    To the first sweet taste of freedom
    You got me runnin', baby
    Wild at heart

    Oh oh, alright
    The night is tellin' us we're way too young
    Oh oh, that's alright
    I've got forever on the tip of my tongue

    That rebel moon is shinin'
    Those stars burn like diamonds
    Hell bent on chasin' down that crazy slide
    I'll follow you where you're leading
    To the first sweet taste of freedom
    You got me runnin', baby
    Wild at heart

    That rebel moon is shinin'
    Those stars burn like diamonds
    Hell bent on chasin' down that crazy slide
    I'll follow you where you're leading
    To the first sweet taste of freedom
    You got me runnin', baby
    You got me runnin', baby
    Wild at heart

    Oh oh, alright Writer/s: Josh Kear, Matt Michael Serletic II, Stephanie Kay Bentley

  • Dennis from Hanford, CaThe first time I heard "wild at heart" I fell in love with it. It is such a feel good song with such a good message that I can't get enough of it. Gloriana is such a good band and they deserve every good thing that the industry can give them. Unfortunately, that's the only song I've heard from them. I hope to hear a lot more from them in the future.
