born to be a wonderer (twang!)
on my second birthday, my daddy chased me out
of the chicken house where I was trying to figure out
just how many eggs would break if I let them fall
compared to how many broke when thrown against the wall
it wasn't that much later, y'can believe it or not
when I was dying to figure out how hot is "white hot" ?
i pushed that car button folks once used to light cigarettes
popped out, touched my finger - white is as hot as it gets
Shaking bees in a tatachip bag, as I ran after those girls
I started wondering if bein shook up meant those bees were mad
I think I found the answer when I opened up the bag
That chasing turned to yearning, and I changed my style
girls weren't running away, and that blondie - what a smile
I started wonderin how those lips would feel on mine
All it took was that one kiss, and I'll remember it for all time
of just that one kiss, holding hands, and whistling
watching the stars dance, and dancing with the girl next door
that way she welcomed me; and now my welcome is over-worn
Wonder if she'll be coming back at all or anytime soon
Wonder what she's thinkin when she sees a crescent moon
Wonder how true love fits into this thing called destiny
Wonder what is in her head, and if she wonders about me

oh I was born to be a wonderer, can't keep my mind in one placeA few years later, on the playground chasing yellow curls
born to try to figure out everything in time and space
That's why I'm wondering just exactly what I'll do
If I don't figure out how to keep a hold on you
