It stood in the meadow, wind blowin' through its mane Cryin' go, go, go, go and do it He stares out the window, anger feeds his flame Cries oh, oh, oh I can't lose it And he asks no questions why 'cause he knows it's do or die He got colder and tough, now he's hard to the stuff He's got to go and try CHORUS: Run wild, run free on the road to nowhere Run wild, run free from the pain and misery Run wild, run free on the road to nowhere No one's gonna change your life She stood in the doorway tryin' to change his mind Sayin', "no, no, no don't you do it" He walked through the doorway, she started to cry He said, "oh, oh, oh don't you lose it" But she asks no questions why 'cause she knows it's do or die She just smiles and hangs tough 'cause she's hard to the stuff She knows he's got to try REPEAT CHORUS No one's gonna change your life, oh yeah, ooh Solo They ask no questions why 'cause they know it's do or die They got colder and tough, now they're hard to the stuff They know they got to try REPEAT CHORUS No one's gonna change your life, oh yeah, ooh
