Untamed
Cam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When they roll up Main Street in this town
We hook up and we roll out
All together, all alone
They run out, so bring your own
Leave behind your daddy's rules
And all that stuff you learned in school
It's all right, it's all good
What goes all around this burning wood

'Cause it's all about us
And the music's loud
Where it gets hotter when the sun goes down (down, down, down)

Making memory lane out of old back roads
That spot in the woods where the cops don't go
Live for a while, for whatever feels good
In the moment, on the river, rock the chain
Untamed

Once we break that moonshine out
We do things we won't live down
Dancing on the Chevy hood
Think you won't, I bet you would
Find somebody you ain't with
Steal away and steal a kiss
Hang your clothes up on a limb
Grab a rope and swing on in

And now, don't you be shy
No, your mama won't see
Claire's all about being what we really wanna be (free, free, free)

Making memory lane out of old back roads
That spot in the woods where the cops don't go
Live for a while, for whatever feels good
In the moment, on the river, rock the chain
Untamed

Wild at heart ain't hard to find
Just pass the "no trespassing" sign
Turn there where we cut the wire
Look for smoke and there's the fire
Them ruts we made'll get you here
This is where we disappear
Come get your fill of living for a change
Untamed, yeah
Untamed

Making memory lane out of old back roads
That spot in the woods where the cops don't go
Live for a while, for whatever feels good
In the moment, on the river, rock the chain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cam's song "Untamed" paint a picture of a wild and free-spirited group of friends who reject societal norms and expectations in favor of living in the moment and indulging in their own desires. They escape the confines of their small town and fully embrace their own untamed natures, breaking all the rules and living for the thrill of it. They drink moonshine, dance on car hoods, steal kisses, and swing on ropes into the river. All of this happens away from prying eyes and the watchful gaze of authority figures, in a secret spot in the woods where cops don't go. Cam urges listeners to join in on the fun, to leave behind the restrictive "daddy's rules" and enjoy their own freedom, to live "untamed."


The song celebrates the idea of living life to the fullest and embracing one's own wild nature. It speaks to the desire for escapism and rebellion, especially during a time when society has become increasingly restrictive and oppressive. Cam encourages her listeners to break their own rules, to indulge in their own pleasures, and to be free. At the end of the day, life is short, and it's important to make the most of it. "Untamed" is a catchy, upbeat anthem that celebrates living on the edge and embracing one's own inner wildness.


Line by Line Meaning

When they roll up Main Street in this town
When the authorities come through the town on their main road


We hook up and we roll out
We leave with our group


All together, all alone
As a collective, but also individually


They run out, so bring your own
Supplies may be limited, so bring your own


Leave behind your daddy's rules
Disregard the restrictions set by authority figures


And all that stuff you learned in school
Ignore the conventional education you received in school


It's all right, it's all good
Everything is alright and acceptable


What goes all around this burning wood
What happens around the fire


'Cause it's all about us
This is all about our group


And the music's loud
Music is playing loudly


Where it gets hotter when the sun goes down (down, down, down)
The party gets more intense at night


Making memory lane out of old back roads
Creating nostalgic memories on less-traveled routes


That spot in the woods where the cops don't go
Finding a location away from police presence


Live for a while, for whatever feels good
Living in the moment, doing what feels right


In the moment, on the river, rock the chain
Having fun and letting loose by the river


Untamed
Acting without restraint or limitations


Once we break that moonshine out
Once we start drinking moonshine


We do things we won't live down
We do things that may embarrass us in the future


Dancing on the Chevy hood
Dancing on the hood of a Chevrolet car


Think you won't, I bet you would
Challenging someone to do something they may hesitate to do


Find somebody you ain't with
Finding someone who is not part of your usual group


Steal away and steal a kiss
Secretly find a moment to kiss someone


Hang your clothes up on a limb
Hanging clothes on a nearby tree branch


Grab a rope and swing on in
Using a rope to swing into the water


And now, don't you be shy
Encouraging someone to come out of their shell


No, your mama won't see
Reassuring someone that their mother won't find out


Claire's all about being what we really wanna be (free, free, free)
The person named Claire is all about being free to be oneself


Wild at heart ain't hard to find
Finding someone who is naturally adventurous is not difficult


Just pass the "no trespassing" sign
Ignoring a warning sign not to enter


Turn there where we cut the wire
Taking a turn where they previously cut a wire fence


Look for smoke and there's the fire
Following the smoke to find the party


Them ruts we made'll get you here
The tracks we left will lead you to our location


This is where we disappear
This is where we go to escape and have fun


Come get your fill of living for a change
Come enjoy life to the fullest for a change

We hooked up and we rolled out
All together, all alone

Leave behind your daddy's rules
And all that stuff you learned in school
It's alright, it's all good

'Cause it's all about us
And the music's loud
Where it gets hotter when the sun goes down (down, down, down)
