I’m a big fool boy from out of town
Looking for trouble don’t be around
I’m the meanest man you ever seen
With big arm veins pumping gasoline

I’m the iron man; I’m the man of steel
I’m the biggest train falling down the hill
Look into my eyes you won’t see my soul
I have this big tattoo and shiny teeth of gold

Because I... Was... Born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild

I was born wild... In a nest of snakes
Drinking strong liquor... That an old man made
I don’t have a mom... Never met my dad
I was raised by the devil... That´s all I had

I’m bullet proof, I’m a barbed wire
I’m the lightning thunder... Made of fire
I’m a wild man...made of tnt
I have a big tattoo and shiny gold teeth

Because I... Was... Born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild

I met this fancy girl...tiny suede blue jeans
The most beautiful girl I´ve ever seen
I invited her out “you wanna go for a ride”
She said: “get lost... You’re not my type”

I like the sound of the wind... Walking down the road
With my bottle of moonshine I’m ready to go
I’m looking for fortune... I’m looking for gold
I’m the meanest mother fucker you’ll ever know

Because I... Was... Born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
Cause I know that... I was born to be wild
