Written by Merle Kilgore and Tillman Franks Give me my cycle and a star-filled sky above And a good lookin' woman with a heart full of love I'll go to any honky tonk in any old town 'Cause I am the wild one and I'll never settle down I am the wild one, I am the wild one I am the wild one, I'll never settle down I've got a gal in every town who claims she loves me so I love 'em and leave 'em and want them all to know That when I hear that wild wind a blowin' down the road I know I'll have to travel fast to leave without a load I am the wild one, I am the wild one I am the wild one, I'll never settle down I am the wild one, I believe in travelin' light Just me and my cycle speeding through the night I love a lot of women and I take them all around But I am the wild one, I'll settle down I am the wild one, I am the wild one I am the wild one, I'll never settle down Never settle down, I'll never settle down
