We were the wild children
Born 1945
When all the soldiers came marching home from war
With love looks in their eyes, in their eyes
Tennessee, Tennessee Williams
Let your inspiration flow
Let it be around when we hear the sound
Of the springtime rivers flow, rivers flow
Steiger and Marlon Brando
With their heads bowed on the side
Cryin' like babies thinkin' 'bout the time
James Dean took that ride, took that ride
Da-da-da-da-da-da
(Instrumental)
Tennessee Williams
Let your inspiration flow
Let it be around when we hear the sound
Of the springtime rivers flow, of the rivers flow
And Steiger and Marlon Brando
With their heads bowed on the side
Cryin' like babies thinkin' 'bout the time
James Dean took that ride, took that ride
And we were the wild children
When all the soldiers came marching home from war
With love looks in their eyes, in their eyes, in their eyes
And it’s a new dawn on a new day
And it’s a new dawn on a new day.
