Mustang Kids
Zella Day Lyrics

The mustang kids are out
A group of adventurous teenagers are out and about.

Rolling over hills and the roundabouts
They are driving recklessly around the town, including on hilly and circular roads.

Black tar, tambourine
They are listening to music and enjoying life.

Playing for the girls in the back seats
They are putting on a show and trying to impress the girls in the car with them.

White line, motor cade
They are speeding on the road, probably on drugs.

Sweeter than your baby face
They find their dangerous lifestyle thrilling and exciting.

Small town gang got nothing to do
Living in a small town, they are bored and crave excitement.

We got guns, got drugs, got the sun and the moon
They have access to firearms and drugs, and feel like they have control over their environment.

We got big city plans but it always rains
They want to escape their small town for the big city, but things always seem to go wrong.

And the sheriff is a crook and knows me by name
They don't trust the law enforcement in their area.

I said momma was insane and daddy was a criminal
The singer's parents have had difficult pasts which have influenced her life choices.

I grew up in a trailer with a dream of fucking centerfolds
Despite coming from a humble background, she has always had big aspirations.

Now I'm making money experimenting with chemicals
She has found a way to make money through her risky behavior, likely involving drug dealing.

The fact I'm still alive is why I still believe in miracles
She recognizes the danger of her lifestyle but is still alive and feels lucky to be so.

Small town gang yeah we get so bored
They are a group from a small town who are bored with their environment.

That I stole a shotgun and robbed a liquor store
They have resorted to dangerous criminal activity to alleviate their boredom.

We're running these streets, we're the mustang kids
They feel empowered and in control of their environment as a tight-knit group.

Only doing what we want and don't take no shit
They don't listen to authority and do whatever they please.

I might seem wild but momma raised a gentleman
Despite her wild exterior, she still has manners and values instilled from her upbringing.

In another life, no telling who I would have been
She acknowledges that her life may have turned out differently if certain circumstances had been altered.

Now you're a king or a boxer in a ring
Everyone has different paths in life and hers has led down this wild and dangerous road.

But I'm just me so I sing
Despite her lifestyle, she expresses herself through music and song.

I've been hearing all these things about you,
Someone is spreading rumors about her.

Creepin' into all the things that I do,
The rumors are starting to affect her life and actions.

About you, about you
The persistence of these rumors is causing her to feel paranoid and anxious.
