Brett Dennen - Wild Child Lyrics






I am a wild child, yes I am
I love the country and I
I wanna run free and I
Don't wanna live up to anyone's plan
I wanna feel the good vibes and I
Wanna feel the sunshine with you,
By my side

I am, I am, I am, I am
I am a wild child, momma
You can, you can, you can, you can
You can hold me tight if you wanna
If you wanna hold me tonight

Take me where the music's playin'
Get me on the dancefloor
Pull me a little closer
I am a wild child, yes I am
I wanna feel the good vibes and I
Wanna feel the sunshine with you,
By my side

I am, I am, I am, I am
I am a wild child, momma
You can, you can, you can, you can
You can hold me tight if you wanna
If you wanna hold me tonight

I am, I am, I am, I am
I am a wild child, momma
You can, you can, you can, you can
You can hold me tight if you wanna
If you wanna hold me tonight

Oh, I, oh, I
Wild child, momma
Oh, I, oh, I
Hold me tight if you wanna
If you wanna hold me tonight

    1.... E....

    how old are you?

  56. P.... ....

    Brett Dennen IS AN AMAZING ROLE MODEL! He is involved with too many organizations to be mentioned, 1 being the Mosaic Project for mentoring kids!! I attended an event and he does magical and amazing self esteem building with these kids! I discovered him at the High Sierra concert in Quincy, CA....about 12-13 years ago! Yes, perhaps a touch of Petty in this song but he has a style all his own which is very unique!! I love all the positive comments here and he deserves them all!!

  57. F.... ....

    worst songwriter. Ever. EVER.

    F.... ....

    Let it all out, Cash Castle. Just let it all out. Thing is, songwriting is about lyrics and music. Dennen's lyrics are admittedly generic, but his music is amazing! Taken as a whole, his songwriting (and performance) is top-notch!

    F.... ....

    Cash Castle as she sits there playing her out of tune guitar with her 2004 Emo scene kid haircut

    F.... ....

    @Alec David Bauer hahaha you're not wrong. Admittedly, I've never been great with a guitar. If I ever got a lefty guitar, it might be a different story, but oh well. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I was drunk when I wrote the original comment on this and also it probably WAS like 2004 when I had that hair. Or maybe like 2014. Idk, I got a late start. Punk doesn't have a timeline tho 🤘

  58. s.... s....

    Great song ! I'd like to see another album as good as the one this track came from. VERY TALENTED ! !

  59. A.... Y....

    I can't wait to go to another show!! He is freaking awesome live!!!! Went to his show at the soulshine tour at redrocks July 2014.

    A.... Y....

    I went to the one in Charlotte. That's where I discovered his lovely music

  60. R.... ....

    "Far Out" (John Denver)

  61. R.... M....

    Yo! I got a request to play him at a wedding im Djing...researching his work? aaaaaand This dude is DOPE!!! Im gonna mess around and buy his stuff for my own listening pleasure!! 
    Im really feeling it!! New Fan!

    R.... M....

    Right on homie...he's definitely a hidden gem. I remember when I first discovered him.

  62. A.... G....

    Sounds like Tom Petty. Love Petty and this song.

  63. B.... M....

    i think maybe singer is gay. not that there is anything wrong with that. just saying. he look gay at times. well most of the time actually. i myself am gay. we can smell our own.

  64. L.... G....

    Love this song! It really is the song Tom petty forgot to write haha

    L.... G....

    I hadn't thought of that, but, yeah, it's very Tom Petty vibe.

    L.... G....

    I was just saying this to my sister.

  74. E.... L....

    Oh man! Love this sooooooooo much! xoxoxoxox

  75. T.... B....

    Brett, this song is not "you." You are a not a dance-floor, hold-me-tonight kind of guy, Brett. Your music is more real than that. It is more serious, contemplative, even meditative at times. Brett, this song sounds like some current-fashion country cross-over song from the Nashville music machine. Please, don't go this way. You are better than this. Respectfully,  

    T.... B....

    Watch Brett Dennen on Live at Daryl's House - he explains the concept of this song - where he came up with the idea, and why he did the song.  Very simple.  And genuine, and true.  I believe you're over thinking this.

    T.... B....

    super useful comment

  76. L.... W....

    SO high spirits!

  77. M.... ....

    I'm a new fan. Just saw this show on Palladia.. Live at Daryl's House the other day and was really impressed with Brett's music. I'm a heavy metal guy but if you can't appreciate this then some things wrong.

  78. A.... B....

    E.... P....

    He can't marry you because he's MINE

  83. M.... L....

    Who is this guy? Never heard of him

  84. M.... R....

    After listening to Niki Minaj's "Anaconda" I came here to feel better. 

  85. r.... ....

    omg i want to travel with this music in my ears

  86. S.... N....

    Saw him on "Live from Daryl's house", or whatever the show is called on Palladia with Daryl Hall. Say what you will about this kid's appearance, voice or music, but he is one talented dude. Unbelievable vocal melodies deep from his soul, but from watching that tv show, it was easy to see that he is hurting deep inside and has some animosity built up. I'd buy some of his tracks and it's not even my cup of earl grey

  87. T.... D....

    He is like the tree-hugger dude I could rest my soul with. I am the epitome of the "wild child" and my family will attest as such. Brett is like the John Denver of the 2000's with out the gushy, heartsy fartsy stuff.

  88. k.... ....

    I Bought the album "Smoke and Mirrors"  for my brother in-law. I put it on my iPod, as well.  I can put the album on repeat.  Very good album, every song is a winner!…check it out!!

  89. T.... ....

    Bro how did you steal Tom Petty's voice out of him?

  90. m.... e....

    love your songs

  91. J.... B....

    sittin in a river drinkin martinis, where do i sign?!?

  92. T.... B....

    Saw him live. Remembered I had a twenty two caliber pistol in my coat pocket. Made my way to the front of the crowd. Put my hand in my pocket and rested it on the handle of my gun. Thought about shooting Brett Dennen. Decided against it. Went home and ate chicken nuggets.

    T.... B....

    Was that supposed to be funny?

    T.... B....

    @Cool Guy Nah, just truthful.

    T.... B....

    why would you say that? I can tell, you're not joking even if the event is not true.  Don't ever be a shooter  Ever. It really is embarrassing, gutless and lacks imagination. You've got to find a better way to live. If your own cognitive dissonance rules your life and is the only way you can make a life map, get help and keep trying to get help until you get help-- don't give up. Get that gun out of your pocket , give it to some one to keep safe, and put some smoked salmon in there instead. I got a feeling it's really yourself you want to shoot. Chicken nuggets were the angels that save you. But if you think chicken nuggets have the power of salvation wait til you try this:   Go to a second hand store buy a crock pot. Next time you go to a concert put some  nice fatty beef ribs in the crock pot with a little water in the bottom, some greens and top it with BBQ sauce and top it all with a potato you cut in half.  Your soul will sing a Dixieland Jazz anthem and you will sleep well and walk happy. It is the right way to learn to take care of yourself. Keep doing that until you know it by heart.

    T.... B....

    @akmediascope Damn, shut the fuck up. Shooting some nerdy manchild and living the rest of your life in prison is better than any of the stupid hipster shit you just suggested. You're a dumbass if you think being a glutton at the expense of animals suffering is the way to happiness. 

    T.... B....

    Get a 20 gauge, saw off a portion of the barrel, stick it up your ass and let someone worthy enjoy those nuggets

  93. W.... K....

    Nice sound, I hear Neil Young influence in his music.sweet.

  94. D.... B....

    holy shit. hes gay

    D.... B....

    oh no..did the Sun just go SuperNova over that news..

  95. t.... d....

    feel good music
