Midnight at a red light in Nowhere, U.S.A.
She got into his car, he was at a loss for words to say
And she said "Take me for a ride" well he was quite confused
She was born to be wild and he was born to lose
He was just a local boy and she was just pa**in' through
On the look for local color, a nationwide scenic cruise
She was a born user, he was just something to do
And she was born to be wild and he was born to lose
Well, he was still a virgin, his conscience was clean
But soon he'd be submerged in a deep pool of sin
He was bound for disaster, but he didn't have a clue
That she was born to be wild and he was born to lose
Out on the county highway with a full moon up above
She led him astray with her full definition of love
He heard them weddin' bells a ringin' but soon he would be singin' the blues
She was born to be wild and he was born to lose
Well she left him there sleepin in the front seat of his car
She left him there in sweet dreams of his one night love affair
But she heard the call of the wild and she could not refuse
'Cause she was born to be wild and he was born to lose
Yeah she was born to be wild and he was born to lose
