My big brother rode an
Indian Scout
It was black like his jacket
American Spirit hangin'
outta his mouth
Just like our daddy
He kicked-started that bike one
night and broke Mama's heart
He pointed that headlight west
Out where the wild things are
He'd call me up every
couple of weeks
From South California
Talk about the desert and the
Joshua Tree
And his pretty girl stories
How he bought an Airstream
trailer and a J-45 guitar
Said little brother
You'd love it out here
Out where the wild things are
Oh oh oh it's hearts on
fire and crazy dreams
Oh oh oh the nights ignite
like gasoline
And light up those streets that
never sleep when the
sky goes dark
Out where the wild things are
I called my brother from the
back of that plane
The second I made it
We started drinkin' on the
strip in LA
And then it got crazy
Ended up at a house
in the hills with some
Hollywood stars
Kissin' on a blonde in a
backyard pool
Out where the wild things are
Oh yeah
Couple iron horse rebels
Wild as the devil
I knew I had to move back east
Said goodbye to my brother
At the end of that summer
But I knew he'd never leave
Oh oh oh it's hearts on
fire and crazy dreams
Oh where the nights ignite
like gasoline
And oh oh oh
Them Indian Scouts
Man they're built for speed
And oh oh oh
They said he hit that
guardrail at half past three
And lit up those streets that
never sleep when the
sky goes dark
And we buried him
out in the wind 'neath the
West Coast stars
Out where the wild things are
Out where the wild things are
