Verse:

My gal and I, we had a fight And I'm all by my self,

I guess she thinks, now that she's gone, I'll lay right on the shelf;

I'm gon -na show her she's all wrong, No lone -some stuff for mine,

I won't sit home, all a -lone, She'll soon find that I'm:

 

Chorus:

Run -nin' wild, lost con -trol,

Run -nin wild, might -y bold,

Feel -in' gay reck -less too,

Care free mind all the time, nev -er blue;

Al -ways goin' don't know where,

Always show -in', I don't care;

Don't love no -bod -y, it's not worth while;

All a -lone run -nin' wild.

(end after 2nd chorus)

 

Patter:

No gal will ev -er make a fool of me, No, gal! I mean just what I say;

I ain't the sim -ple -ton I used to be, Won -der how I got that way.

Once I was full of sen -ti -ment, it's true, But now I got a cru -el heart;

With all that oth -er fool -ish -ness I'm through, Gon -na play the vil -lian part.

(to chorus)
