Biography:
In the past three years Matthew Mayfield has both redefined himself and redefined how a musician can record and release music. When Matthew’s previous band, Moses Mayfield, which signed with Epic when he was only 21, disbanded at the close of 2007, the Birmingham-based musician was forced to decide how to proceed with his life. A working musician since the age of 18, he only knew songwriting, recording, and touring. “All I ever wanted to be was a rock 'n roll star,” Matthew says. “When the band broke up, I knew I had to keep pushing."

[Verse 1]
Bm A G
Young and wild and free
D Bm A
and full of fantasy we search the summer
G D
to find a flame.
Bm A G D
To take us higher, whether it's arson or it's wildfire,
Bm A G D
We try to catch the ashes as they fly away.
Em D A Bm
Wicked waves, they swell a mile high
Em D A
yet all of us still want to ride.
[CHORUS]
G D
And it's a left hook to the right jaw,
A Bm
the wrong man and it's our fault,
G D A
and these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.
G D
And it's a good look at the last straw
A Bm
the bad girls, the sweet talk
G D A G D A
and their wild eeeeyyyeeeesss, these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.
[Verse 2]
Bm A G
Cut the ropes, don't settle in,
D Bm A
Ditch the guidelines and skim the skylines
G D
For an offering.
Bm A G
Reckless ways and fickle crazes
D Bm A
become yesterday's forgotten and abandoned,
G D
and lost along the way.
Em D A
The blindness is still blindness today.
[CHORUS]
G D
And it's a left hook to the right jaw,
A Bm
the wrong man and it's our fault,
G D A
and these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.
G D
And it's a good look at the last straw
A Bm
the bad girls, the sweet talk
G D A G D A
and their wild eeeeyyyeeeesss, these wild eeeeyyyeeeesss.
[BRIDGE]
Em D
Blindly get inside the wind
A Bm
They've clearly lost the way
Em D A
I'll admit we're still swinging away
A
Swing away.
