I knew it from the moment that I met ya, you had courage in your eyes Every dream's the size of Texas with a spirit you can't wrangle or hide I prayed to God that you'd be more like your mama It looks like we ain't gonna stop ya 'Cause you just robbed the bank and now you're running from the law Saved the princess from a tower, slayed a dragon 10 feet tall Shot out all the lights in some old Wild West Saloon Then you climbed into your spaceship and blast off to the moon Yeah your world and mine are all right here in this backyard Where the wild things are And it always makes me laugh every time that I ask where you've been Every bad idea seems to be your invisible friends In a world where the good guys win Lost in your innocence 'Cause you just robbed the bank and now you're running from the law Saved the princess from a tower, slayed a dragon 10 feet tall Shot out all the lights in some old Wild West Saloon Then you climbed into your spaceship and blast off to the moon Yeah your world and mine are all right here in this backyard Where the wild things are Where the wild things are You just robbed the bank and now you're running from the law Saved the princess from a tower, slayed a dragon 10 feet tall Shot out all the lights in some old Wild West Saloon Then you climbed into your spaceship and blast off to the moon Yeah your world and mine are all right here in this backyard Where the wild things are Where the wild things are Where the wild things are Where the wild things are
