Wild
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a baby doll t-shirt that says "I got issues"
She got holes in her jeans in all the right places
Let's just say she's downright curvaceous
[Chorus]
She's wild, wild, wild as my wildest dreams
Yeah she's wild, if you know what I mean
But here's the part I love the best
That girl only gets wild with me
She loves to drop the top on her red V-W
And the truckers looking down they love it too
She blows 'em a kiss just to get their air horns blowin'
Any more than that they'd never get to where they're going
[Chorus]
Sunday picnic, summer afternoon
Red hot sun, spicy barbecue
Working up a sweat by the riverside
She says let's get wet, it's skinny-dipping time
[Chorus]
That girl only gets wild with me
