Back when sara was seventeen Her senior year she was the prom queen The kinda girl all the girls just wanted to be But she never played her part She didn't like attention never tried that hard And every Friday night she'd be sneaking into a bar She loved the smoke and the haze and the beer that she drank And loved when the bands played skynyrd and hank She got a wild side You could see it in her eyes It runs a country mile wide Its too damn big to hide She said she wants a man who can treat her right And shoot dark whiskey on a Friday night She got a wild side Well down the road she fell in love Found a diamond ring that fit like a glove The kind of man that all the little girls dream of But lover boy didn't play his part He tore up her dreams he broke her heart Never held her in his arms He hated all the smoke and the haze and the beer that she drank He never knew the words to skynyrd or hank She got a wild side You could see it in her eyes It runs a country mile wide Its too damn big to hide She said she wants a man who can treat her right And shoot dark whiskey on a Friday night She got a wild side Well I played in that bar every Friday night And I watched her laugh and I watched her cry And I knew all the words to the songs that could make her smile Now when I look in her eyes I can't believe she's mine She got a wild side You could see it in her eyes It runs a country mile wide Its too damn big to hide Well she found a man who can treat her right And I can shoot whiskey every single night She got a wild side Thank god for her wild side
