[Verse 1]
The years of riding on a wild horse
Leave me untameable myself
The urge of running, kicking down doors
Maybe it's my foolish pride
That's kept me putting loved ones on the shelf
Eyes wide open, always leaving
We're all lost stars, so it seems
Maybe it's my wanderlust
That's keeping me from following my dreams

[Chorus]
What the hell, it ain't no use to pretend
If I go on like this I'll never see the end
If I had listened to a word my mother said
"Gеt a grip, settle down"
Man, I wish I could but I just can't
Oh no, oh no

[Verse 2]
Well, I ain't nеver been a good boy
But heaven knows I tried
Maybe it's the great unknown
That's keeping me from being satisfied
Oh
[Chorus]
What the hell, it ain't no use to pretend
If I go on like this I'll never see the end
If I had listened to a word my mama said
"Get a grip, settle down"
Man, I wish I could

[Bridge]
I'm trying hard to hold my own
But there's a siren's call I can't ignore
I wish that I could give you more

[Chorus]
What the hell, it ain't no use to pretend
If I go on like this I'll never see the end
If I had listened to a word my mama said
"Get a grip, settle down"
(Get a grip, settle down)
Yeah, get a grip and settle down
Man, I wish I could but I just can't
No, no
