Lyrics

Verse:
Kitty went out the front door, made a beeline for the highway
It's clear she wanted freedom, had a need to do things her way
She didn't leave a message; didn't need to leave a note
'Cause I knew that she'd be going and she won't be coming home

We were young and full of wonder; two hearts in love with life
Not a worry or a care; just doing what felt right
But as time went by, I guess I tried to settle down and so ...
Kitty went out the front door and she won't be coming home

Chorus:
Kitty, I know you love me but I held on too tight
I wanted to protect you; you wanted to let loose life
Kitty, I'll always love you; nothing could change that
I never should have ever tried to tame a wild cat!

Verse:
I heard somebody say she's on the prowl for something new
They said it's just her way; there was nothing I could do
But I miss her so and I know I should've gave her room to roam
Kitty went out the front door and she won't be coming home

Chorus:
Kitty, I know you love me but I held on too tight
I wanted to protect you; you wanted to let loose life
Kitty, I'll always love you; nothing could change that
I never should have ever tried to tame a wild cat!

Bridge:
The funny thing is I first loved her 'cause she lived her life so free
But in the end that's what took her away from me

Chorus:
Kitty, I know you love me but I held on too tight
I wanted to protect you; you wanted to let loose life
Kitty, I'll always love you; nothing could change that
I never should have ever tried to tame a wild cat!
