"Wilder Than Her"


Well I'm wilder than her
And what else can I say
But I guess that's why she fell in love with me
She's a house on fire
She's got all those charms
I'm a house on fire, too
But I got four alarms

And I'm wilder than her
And it drives her out of her mind
I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind
But she's a summer storm
And I'm a hurricane
One just blows through town
One blows the town away
And I'm wilder than her

When we go drivin' in our cars
Racing through the night
She can drive as fast as me
LyricsBut she stops at all the lights
She says it's 'cause I'm crazy
And she's probably right
But I think that the reason is that I'm twice as wild

And I'm wilder than her
And it drives her out of her mind
I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind
But she's a summer storm
And I'm a hurricane
One just blows through town
One blows the town away
And I'm wilder than her

But when she takes my hand
And she looks me in the eye
I see something that I've never seen in my life

She takes the fire
And turns it down low
She takes the night
And makes it not so cold
She takes the distance
And breaks it into miles
She makes my life just a little less wild

And I'm wilder than her
And it drives her out of her mind
I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind
But she's a summer storm
And I'm a hurricane
One just blows through town
One blows the town away
And I'm wilder than her
