  • Hand in my hair and you said I looked pretty
    You're so devious, rolled in
    From the Windy City, yeah
    I ain't gotta clear view
    Tell me what you're wanting me to do and
    You tell me every single secret in your mind
    Come on, baby, we got nothing but time
    You say, I am too young for you
    You're scared I'm too right for you

    You say you hate the smell of cigarette smoke
    You only used to smoke when you drank
    When you lived in Chicago
    Unsure where the wind blows
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
    And now here we go
    You got me falling in love again
    You gotta secret, I wanna keep it
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days

    The way you move your hands across my body
    I'm kissin' you in a hotel lobby
    Baby, I don't wanna lose this feeling
    You're giving me something to believe in
    And who were you before I knew your name?
    Were you drunk at midnight waiting for the train?
    You could have been anyone back then
    Just another kid reaching for the wind

    You say you hate the smell of cigarette smoke
    You only use to smoke when you drank
    When you lived in Chicago
    Unsure where the wind blows
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
    And now here we go
    You got me falling in love again
    You gotta secret, I wanna keep it
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days

    What were you like when you were a little wilder?
    Why don't you show me?
    Why don't you show me?
    What you were like when you got a little higher?
    Just for tonight, just for tonight

    You say you hate the smell of cigarette smoke
    You only use to smoke when you drank
    When you lived in Chicago
    Unsure where the wind blows
    I wish I had known you in your wilder days
    And now here we go
    You got me falling in love again
    You gotta secret, I wanna keep it
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days
    I wish I'd known you in your wilder days Writer/s: Morgan Wade, Sadler Vaden
