Descendents - Ride The Wild Lyrics






Well you've messed around with all my friends and everyone you've seen
You know you're tryin' to ride the wild when you mess around with me
And all my friends tell me they see you out on the town
And the all look down upon you with some pity and a frown

Bankshot baby, I saw through your eyes
I see ya' run around with a thousand other guys
Tell them all your newly thought up lies

You don't want to be wanted by someone else new
If you can't show some love for me then I don't want to see you
Girl you got me runnin', why can't you see?

Lately when I wake up it's on the wrong side of the bed
And I know your voice distinctly, it reverberates in my head
And all my friends tell me they see you out on the town
They see you're tryin' to ride the wild, but the word's been passed around

Ride the wild baby, you like to ride all night
Ride the wild baby, I'm sure you're not so tight
Come on baby now give me a try

You don't want to be wanted, by someone else new
If you can't trust a liar then I don't want to trust you
Girl you got me runnin', why can't you see?

Ride the wild baby, you like to ride all night
Ride the wild baby, I'm sure you're not so tight
Come on baby now give me a try

You don't want to be wanted, by someone else new
If you can't trust a liar then I don't want to trust you
Girl you got me runnin'

Descendents Ride The Wild Comments
  1. S.... ....

    Great song....love the bassline

  2. R.... D....

    Bill Stevenson you are totally unsung in SOCAL punk. Sadly. You're the fucking man. Just like Bobby Schayer. Really. It's like Krupa and Guy and Lionel Hampton, all over again!!!! FUCKING AWESOME!

  3. Z.... C....

    I'm thinking I'm going to cop this entire LP. The vibe it had was hella Dope. Always been a fan of their earlier work. 👊

  4. P.... ....

    without milo, descendents are not the same

  5. N.... P....

    This is so easily my favourite Descendents song

  6. C.... H....

    I love the surf lead in this song, could listen to all day long.

    C.... H....

    yup sure can

  7. P.... M....

    Great tune. Cool lyrics too.

  8. G.... D....

    This is damn good, especially when you consider that Bill was in Mira Costa H.S. the same time as I was-High school kids put this out-AWESOME !

    G.... D....

    Except Tony. He was quite a bit older than the rest..;)

    G.... D....

    @johnnyscifi Yeah , come to think of it- I never saw Tony outside of the "Church" practicing! And so the puzzle continues to collect the pieces even after 'decades'! Thanx Bro-Greg!

  9. t.... ....

    Descendents of the day!

    *Ride the Wild*

  10. N.... ....

    I wouldn't be here if I didn't like the song, but "one of the best punk songs of all time",? C'mon now.

  11. h.... ....

    "One of"... are the key words here.

  12. M.... ....

    Frank Navetta – guitar, vocals on "Ride the Wild"Frank died on October 31, 2008 after a short bout of illness.[1] A message posted on the Descendents' official web site reads: read wikipedia for more details and also someone in association with ALL died also fishing

  13. M.... C....

    What are the chords?

    M.... C....

    I know this is about 5 years too late probably, but I recently tried doing barre chords and it sounds pretty good. For the verse it should go C, then D#, and then A#. I haven't figured out the chorus though. The intro is just strumming a C barre chord twice.

    M.... C....

    The chorus is just Eb Bb and C
    And the second part ("you don't want to be wanted...") is Eb Bb F

  14. m.... j....

    has that real surfy punk sound

  15. M.... B....

    This is the first line-up and the first single. Milo wasnt a member of the band until 1980.

  16. K.... ....

    easily one of my fav Descendents tunes

  17. s.... ....

    This song changed my fucking life.

    s.... ....

    THAT A GIRL!!! yaaaa it changed mine too ! the band did the music did! inspires me and makes me think of just good things and love !!! I've not met but maybe a few woman who know or remember this stuff it's too bad ! I'm still looking tho! sure wouldn't mind meeting a girl who could appreciate the finer things in life like the descendents

    s.... ....

    That a girl

  18. R.... ....

    This is before he joined.

  19. M.... ....

    i havent heard this in a long time, then i started strumming this on my guitar and it reminded me of this song so I looked it up here...

  20. s.... ....

    for the 2 dislikes "lick my balls"

  21. T.... ....

    i agree!

  22. E.... Z....

    Awesome guitar tone, it has that cleanness with a bit of distortion

  23. T.... ....

    @harrisonbiden i totally agree!!!!!

  24. K.... ....

    @margherita953 Tony and Frank shared singing on this album (Frank - this tune, Tony - It’s a Hectic World)

  25. g.... ....

    Anyone want a tab for it

  26. -.... ....

    This is the first song from the Descendents

  27. d.... ....

    anyone who digs these early descendents tracks should definitely check out the Urinals.

  28. 1.... ....

    I remember I had like four 120minute tape's that was filled with all the Descendents stuff and i had these songs on there. Feels like High School!!!

  29. F.... ....

    @aquietmindtv

    damn you for not telling!! haha

  30. R.... J....

    I know the back story on this tune and I'm not tellin. R.I.P Frank.

  31. w.... ....

    Nice one - much more Buzzcocks than Black Flag :)

  32. c.... ....

    great song, considering they didn't yet have milo i'd say it's damned catchy

  33. R.... S....

    I've never had the chance to visit So. Cal, but this song has always been a part of my world over here in NY. amazing.

  34. J.... M....

    good stuff old so cal...

  35. h.... ....

    i'd say one of the best punk songs of all time

  36. J.... J....

    I like this, but im glad Milo joined.

  37. k.... j....

    What a great song----appreciate the posting!!!!

  38. J.... L....

    Fuck yeah, one of my favorite songs by them.
    Glad I've got this on the "Two Things At Once" cassette.

  39. c.... ....

    R.I.P. Frank Navetta. The man deserved way more credit. He passed with little more than a footnote in the music press earlier this year. I wish there were more than 2 songs of this early 3-piece line up. This is THE SOUND of So. Cal beach punk.

    c.... ....

    my uncle and the coolest strangest dude who ever loved me as I am. honor him every Halloween..... he actually chose Halloween as his preferred exit day long before that was his case....... can you believe this shit Franky I mean our puksident. I love and miss you, .... I'm about to meditate... after bong hits I hope to see you in the whhhhhhooooaasss zone. you owe me a visit

  40. w.... ....

    Absolute classic :) Thanks kevin171994
