I heard you got arrested in the street last night
Called me with a voice I didn't recognize
So you're numbing the pain, stuck in your ways
Since we were kids it was like this
But I will be there
I will be there for ya

Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

Back in '06 selling weed to the freshman kids
You were the yin to my yang, never separate
And I know you been hurting, think you deserve it
How did it end up like this?
Everything will be fine
If you just get through tonight

Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

My brother's got a baby on the way now
I hope that you'll meet him someday
And I hope he don't make the same mistakes we made
And when I look him in the eyes I'll say

Hey child
Hey child
You were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh
