Free and untamed that's how I've grown

Settling down ain't my nature

Roots I'll never own

Oh your smile

But tell me, ain't your child

How can you cage a bird

Born to be wild



Refrain

I'm Johnny Raven by and by

Oh, I'm going to leave yoour nest girl

Another nest to try

Ooh Johnny Raven

Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you

Yeah, but I gotta leave yoou

When my restless heart says goodbye



Look at you little girl

You feel love so deep

If I could change in a second

I'd change for you like that

Stay right here for keeps

But I'm home free for no thrills

Stray I will

Seems I gotta need one girl

Never can feel



Refrain

Yeah I'm Johnny Raven by and by

Oh, I'm going to leave yoour nest girl

Another nest to try

Ooh Johnny Raven

Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you

Yeah, but I gotta leave yoou

When my restless heart says goodbye



Everybody knows my name

I'm Johnny Raven yeah, yeah by abd by

I'm gonna fly

When you cry part of me's gonna die
