We were wild, we were reckless,
We were crazy, we were careless,
Every weekend, every pay cheque we were good at wasting time,
Chasing down a feelin’, always hangin’ from the ceilin’,
We were fightin’ for our freedom every Friday night,
We would think too little,
We would drink too much,
Back when we were renegades on the run,
 
We wanted lightning in a bottle, livin’ life full throttle,
Back when we had nothing but we wanted it all,
Nights would last forever, always thought we’d be together
You and me,
Back when we, we were wannabes
We were wannabes,
Yeah we, we were wannabes
 
We were rulin’ heartbreakers,
We were good time chasers,
‘Proud to be called trouble-makers, always dodging blue lights,
We were rough, we were rebels,
Always runnin’ with the Devil,
Take it to another level, had to chase that high,
We would think too little,
We would drink too much,
Back when we were renegades on the run,
 
We wanted lightning in a bottle, livin’ life full throttle,
Back when we had nothing but we wanted it all,
Nights would last forever, always thought we’d be together
You and me,
Back when we, we were wannabes
We were wannabes,
Yeah we, we were wannabes….Yeah, yeah
 
Oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh,
Oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh,
 
We wanted lightning in a bottle, livin’ life full throttle,
Back when we had nothing but we wanted it all,
Nights would last forever, always thought we’d be together
You and me,
Back when we, we were wannabes
We were wannabes,
Yeah we, we were wannabes
 
We, we were wannabes,
Yeah we, we were wannabes
We, we were wannabes
Yeah we, we were wannabes
We, we were wannabes,
Yeah, we were wannabes
