WILD CHILD©2010 music/lyrics Jeff Powers

He was a son of a son of a bitch
He faked a life up until his death
A wild child schooled with a switch
Kicked round by a drunk Irish prick

Wild Child 
He was a Rock n Roll
Wild Child
The devil bought his soul 
Wild Child
He was king of the road
Wild Child
He was a (real) rolling stone

A 100 mile an hour on an open road
No brakes in the car, and he was singing out loud
He was a Helter Skelter, 56 Chevy out of control
Smokin' reefer and gettin' stoned

Wild Child 
He was a Rock n Roll
Wild Child
The devil bought his soul 
Wild Child
He was king of the road
Wild Child
He was a (real) rolling stone

Kicked in the teeth and spitting blood
Schooled real hard by that/an Irish drunk/punk 
He was meaner than shit and a lot of fun
He was a dog day afternoon, he was the alpha stud


Wild Child 
He was a Rock n Roll
Wild Child
The devil bought his soul 
Wild Child
He was king of the road
Wild Child
He was a (real) rolling stone

He pissed in the wind too many times
(Even) a cat only got nine lives
He lived a lot (more) in a real short life
You can't make a deal when it's your time to die

Wild Child 
He was a Rock n Roll
Wild Child
The devil bought his soul 
Wild Child
He was king of the road
Wild Child
He was a (real) rolling stone

He left his legacy crushed under his car
He was a true rebel without a cause
Crashed and burned like a shooting star
You know they had to scrape him up off the hot hot tar

Wild Child 
He was a Rock n Roll
Wild Child
The devil bought his soul
Wild Child
He was king of the road
Wild Child
He was a (real) rolling stone

Wild Child  (repeat)

Wild Child (The Ballad Of Brian)

Playing a gut-bucket slide on his 3-string Cigar Box Guitar or banging out a song on a beat up guitar while singing and stomping on a tambourine and an old trunk (Songwriter) Jeff Powers creates his own “gumbo” styled brand of Roots, Blues and Americana. Sounds like Neil Young joined the Black Keys.

Jeff's latest CD has received rave reviews like:
“Jeff Powers is one of Rockwired's "25 Guitarists You Gotta Know"...his self-titled release is an engaging listen that will leave the listener amazed at the guitarist's musicality and virtuosity as well as his tremendous sense of songcraft. ”
—  Brian Lush, ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE

“There’s nothing like finding out about a little known but awesome talent and get to be the one telling the world about them. It doesn’t happen very often but, when it does, it’s a real personal treat. This is one of those cases. To put it short and sweet, Jeff Powers is awesome and his new, self-titled CD is an excellent showcase of his incredible talent.”
—  Randy Patterson, Boomerocity
