Wilder Than Her

Dar Williams

Well I'm wilder than her

And what else can I say

But I guess that's why she fell in love with me

She's a house on fire

She's got all those charms

I'm a house on fire, too

But I got four alarms



And I'm wilder than her

And it drives her out of her mind

I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind

But she's a summer storm

And I'm a hurricane

One just blows through town

One blows the town away

And I'm wilder than her



When we go drivin' in our cars

Racing through the night

She can drive as fast as me

But she stops at all the lights

She says it's 'cause I'm crazy

And she's probably right

But I think that the reason is that I'm twice as wild



And I'm wilder than her

And it drives her out of her mind

I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind

But dhe's a summer storm

And I'm a hurricane

One just blows through town

One blows the town away

And I'm wilder than her



But when she takes my hand

And she looks me in the eye

I see something that I've never seen in my life



She takes the fire

And turns it down low

She takes the night

And makes it not so cold

She takes the distance

And breaks it into miles

She makes my life just a little less wild



And I'm wilder than her

And it drives her out of her mind

I guess she thought that she was just one of a kind

But she's a summer storm

And I'm a hurricane

One just blows through town

One blows the town away

And I'm wilder than her
