DTrain of love was Ccomin? fastG  
I close my eyes and Dhit the gas
Full speed ahead to her Cwaiting arms
I was Ghypotized by her Dwilling charm
She was Russin roulette I was Cdying to play
GFlirtin? with danger every Dstep of the way
I was WrecklessF,   G  DWrecklessG,   F  DWrecklessF  G  
Walkin? on the wild side.
 D   C   G   DX2
DOn a two lane road in a Cone horse town
I was Gfeelin? lost, I was Dfeelin? down
I did not know she meant to Cbe unkind
So I Ggave her my heart, and she Dstole my mind
The Devil would be waitin? just aCround the bend
I Gknew it would be long unDtil the end
And I was WrecklessF,   G  DWrecklessG,   F  DWrecklessF  G  
Walkin? on the wild side.
 D   C   G   DX2
The Dsign on the highway said ?CDanger Ahead?
I was Gdriving through the land of the Dliving dead
She was taking advantaged of the Cway I feel
And my Ghands had a death grip Don the wheel
Love of a woman Cdeep inside
The Gonly way out was Dsuicide
I was WrecklessF,   G  DWrecklessG,   F  DWrecklessF  G  
Walkin? on the wild side.
 D   C   G   DX2
DToo much whiskey and Cnot enough to eat
I was Gtoo drunk to drive, I was Dout on my feet
I put the gun right Cnext to my head
GKnew she was lyin? in aDnother man?s bed
Why she did me wrong, Lord I Ccould not figure
GAs I stepped on the Dgas and I pulled the trigger
Wreckless,  F    G  DWreckless,  G    F  DWrecklessF  G  
Walkin? on the wild side.
