Wild
[Verse 1]
I went into my favorite bar
Where they know me well
The bartender said you need a whiskey man
Pretty sure I can tell
No! my doc says that stuff will kill you
Better just give me a sarsaparilla
None of those alcoholic drinks you sell
[Chorus]
Wild ain't as wild as before
No, wild ain't so wild anymore
I took me a long look in the mirror
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer
I Want to stick around for what's in store
[Verse 2]
I used to stay up to the wee hours
Late into the night
Sometimes I'd even make it through
Right to the morning light
Now I need sleep to stay in the saddle
This aging thing is a constant battle
I'm doing all I can to win the fight
[Chorus]
Wild ain't as wild as before
No, wild ain't so wild anymore
I took me a long look in the mirror
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer
I Want to stick around for what's in store
[Bridge]
The years pass by for you and me
None of us wants it to stop
Time reveals that we have to try
If we want to stay on top
[Verse 3]
I used to eat everything set before me
Life was a great big feast
Life was a carnival and a zoo
And I was a raging beast
But now I take it easy on the whisky and scotch
I've learned to take things down a notch
But my appetite for life has just increased
[Chorus]
Wild ain't as wild as before
No, wild ain't so wild anymore
I took me a long look in the mirror
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer
I Want to stick around for what's in store
I took me a long look in the mirror
Now I sees things a whole lot clearer
I Want to stick around for what's in store
