Badlands Lyrics


Remember they said I was born wild
I think I live on the outside
Never been fixed with a slow high yet
I’m always walking a thin line
Running away from a low tide
I know I’m better a high-wire kid

Don’t look down now
I’m not done here yet
Don’t look down now
I’m not done here yet

Remember the wind on the badlands
When I’m still running from loose hands
Set myself up to become a man
Who wasn’t there for the backhand
Getaway car in the quicksand
I think you may never understand

Don’t look down now
I’m not done here yet
Don’t look down now
I’m not done here yet

Running away from a fine line
Run with me, we can still make it high
Give me a vision, give me a dime

Running away from a tame life
Running away like a wild child
Give me a vision, give me a dime (And give me more)

Running away from a fine line
Run with me, we can still make it high
Give me a vision, give me a dime (And give me more)

Running away from a tame life
Running away like a wild child
Give me a vision, give me a dime

Don’t look down now
I’m not done here yet
Don’t look down now
I’m not done here yet

Remember they said I was born wild
I think I live on the outside
Never been fixed with a slow high yet
I’m always walking a thin line
Running away from the low tide
I know I’m better a high-wire kid
