Darling, don't you shed one tear for me if I want to be the hero I was meant to be,
And if I'm treading in deep water or getting blinded by the sun, could be that I'm dancing to the rhythm of a different drum,
I might stand out in the open 'neath the thunder and rain,
Buy a one way ticket on a runaway train,
Try hanging by my fingers off a mountain side,
Take a wicked little tumble down a slip and slide.

It's gonna be a wild ride tonight,
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight,
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight.

Darling, it's fine if you pray for me, but I'll be seeing all the places that I've wanted to see,
I might be playing all the numbers and rolling out the dice,
Just might do a little two-step 'cross some pretty thin ice,
'Cause I got my own demons, and some fears to face,
And it's time I got acquainted with my measure of faith,
Admit to a few things that I've always denied,
Taste some dangerous dishes that I've never tried.

It's gonna be a wild ride tonight,
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight.

Darling, it's a wonder you can still love me, even when I'm adding to your misery,
But it's time for a good game like that Russian Roulette,
A high wire act without a safety net,
I might pick me a fight down there in Mexico,
Put my foot in my mouth while digging my own hole,
Order humble pie and then swallow my pride,
Don't need to be afraid if the Lord's my guide.

It's gonna be a wild ride tonight,
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight,
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight,
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight.
