Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Eb]Not [D]long[A] ago, I got [D]to wondering' 'bout all the[G]
[D]trouble I've [A]been [D]getting' in since I was a [G]child,
And I finally figured [D]it out,
[A]I brought it [D]all on mys[Ab]elf.

[Verse 2]
(Sung)
Drinkin' hard liquor [D]at the [Ab]age [A]of 1[D]0,[Ab]
Chasin' wild women since
I don't know [A]when,
[Ab]Rollin' [A]them [D]dice [A]at the [Ab]age o[A]f [D]11,[Ab][D][A]
I [Ab]didn't care much [A]about [Ab]join' to heaven,
[D][Ab][A]
[D]I ran right straight to where
the action was child,
Just running' wild.

[Verse 3]
I [Ab]ran away from [A]home when
I [Ab]reached [A]14,[Ab][D][A][D]
I [Ab]had to go [D]and see [A]what I
[Ab]had [A]not [Ab]seen,
I [Ab]didn't know the reason I was [Ab]here on earth,
[Ab][D][Ab][A][D]
And I didn't even know what my
[Ab]life was [D]worth.[Ab][D][Ab][A]
But I [D]thought, I thought I knew
what was happening' child,
Just running' wild.

[Verse 4]
I [Ab]learned a [A]thing or two as the
[Ab]years went [A]by,[Ab][A][D]
[A]I l[Ab]earned not to rob, cheat,
steal [D]or lie,[Ab]
[Ab]If I'da known then everything I know now,
[Ab][Ab]
I [Ab]wouldn't done what I did,
[Ab]no how,[Ab][Ab]
There was only one thing that was
wrong with me [Ab]child,
That's running' wild.
[Ab][Ab]

[Verse 5]
Listen children now,
and listen real good,
You better do everything [Ab]good you should,
[D]You can[Ab]'t get away with nothin', no how,
If you're heading' for trouble,
you better stop right now,
[Ab]Runnin' wild, baby, running' wild,
[D]nah, [Ab]just [Ab]runnin' wild.
