Song lyrics

He's born to be wild


Free and untamed that's how I've grown

(He's Johnny Raven)

Settling down ain't my nature

Roots I'll never own

(He's Johnny Raven)

Oh your smile

But tell me, ain't your child

How can you cage a bird

Born to be wild

(Born to be wild)


I'm Johnny Raven

(He's Johnny Raven)

By and by (By and By)

Oh, I'm gonna leave your nest girl

Another nest to try

Ooh, Johnny Raven (Oh, Johnny Raven)

Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you

Yeah, but I gotta leave you

When my restless heart says fly


Look at you little girl

You feel love so deep, yeah, yeah

(He's Johnny Raven)

If I could change in a second

I'd change for you like that

Stay right here for keeps

(He's Johnny Raven)

But I'm hungry for new thrills

Stray I will

Seems I gotta need one girl

Never can feel


Yeah I'm Johnny Raven

(He's Johnny Raven)

By and by

Oh, I'm gonna leave your nest girl

Another nest to try

Ooh, Johnny Raven (Oh, Johnny Raven)

Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you

Yeah, but I gotta leave you

When my restless heart says goodbye


Everybody knows my name

I'm Johnny Raven, yeah, yeah

(He's Johnny Raven)

Yeah, yeah, by and by

(He's Johnny Raven)

Ooh, I'm gonna fly and when you cry

(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

Part of me is gonna die

(He's Johnny Raven)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)


Ooh, I'm Johnny Raven, yeah, yeah

(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

Yeah, yeah, by and by

(He's Johnny Raven)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ooh, I'm gonna fly and when you cry, yeah

(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

Part of me is gonna die

(He's Johnny Raven)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)


(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

(He's Johnny Raven)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

(He's Johnny Raven)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)


(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)

(He's Johnny Raven)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny)
