Wild
Shooter Jennings Lyrics

Flyin' through the middle of a month of Saturday nights
Living life on the fast lane, not caring about anything, even the time.

I tear 'cause I know my woman's waitin' up and ready to fight
Tension in the air as the singer anticipates the angry showdown with his woman.

Tried to cuddle up, said "Baby don't be mad"
Attempting to reconcile with his woman after making her angry.

Kissed me, then cussed me, then beat me in bed
Receiving mixed signals from his woman, eventually leading to an intense make-up session.

Now she's howlin' at the moonlight, wakin' up the neighbors tonight
The climax of the conflict, reaching a point where the whole neighborhood can hear the commotion.

I'm wild and my woman is crazy
Both the singer and his woman are impulsive individuals who are too passionate for their own good.

You ain't gonna strike a better match than me and my baby
No two people are more compatible than the singer and his woman, despite their many flaws.

She's wild about her haunted marry-go-round
His woman is fascinated with things that are mysterious and intriguing, even if they're potentially dangerous.

I'm crazy 'bout my mood, I'll mouth off this out
The artist is unpredictable and stubborn, never backing down from what he says.

When she's out of control she drives me out of my mind
The artist can't handle his woman when she's extremely emotional, causing him to become frustrated and overwhelmed.

From the moment that I met her I knew that she wasn't right
Despite his love for her, the singer recognizes the flaws in his woman from the start.

Sometimes we act like Bonnie and Clyde
The artist and his woman are a team, always sticking together through thick and thin.

Guess we're both a little Jekyll and Hyde
They both have dual personalities - sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Oh I'm wild and my woman is crazy
Their wildness and craziness are not just isolated moments, they're ongoing traits.

She's wild about her haunted son-of-a-gun
The woman is fascinated with scary and mysterious objects.

I'm crazy 'bout my moon and cannon ball run
The artist is drawn to craziness in his own way, like riding fast and recklessly.

Yes, she is
Acknowledging again that his woman is crazy.

(I'll show you crazy)
The singer is not afraid of his woman's craziness, in fact, he'll match it if need be.

(I love you)
Despite all of the craziness, the singer still loves his woman.

(Moonlight damn son)
A sign of appreciation for the beauty of the moon and the night sky.

Yeah, I'm wild but my woman is crazy
Reiterating again that both the artist and his woman have their quirks and flaws.

You scratch like a cat
His woman fights back and is not submissive, often acting like a wild animal.

(You're crazy)
An acknowledgment that their craziness is mutual and a defining part of their relationship.
