Adele’s “Wild Wild West” is a bonus track that is part of the Target Deluxe version of her album “30”, released on November 19, 2021. Produced and co-written by Ludwig Göransson, the track has a country feel and is a departure from the chronological storyline of the album. The song takes listeners on a journey through Adele’s personal life, from her move to Los Angeles to raising her son and ultimately experiencing the breakdown of her marriage with Simon Konecki. The use of old west slang in the lyrics adds a unique touch to the song’s already distinctive sound.
Wild Wild West lyrics
[Verse 1]
I grew a nipper in the wild wild west
And for a while I was at my best
So much so that I got hitched in a big white dress
But all it did was make me so sad and stressed
And so I got soaked in the wild wild west
I was gallivanting in the silhouettes
That’s when I, I met a jingler in the, in the wild west
While he was sparrow-catching in the wilderness
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t waste your time when I’ve got a (Ah-ooh) backbone of steel
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t push me once or I’ll shoot a (Ah-ooh) look that will kill
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t waste your time when I’ve got a (Ah-ooh) backbone of steel
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t push me once or I’ll shoot a look that will kill ya
[Chorus]
From LA to San Francisco
I lost my mind in San Bernardino
Even Chula Vista and Modesto
I broke my heart in San Diego
[Verse 2]
Now I’m cutting shines in the wild wild west
I had to bed my man down to save myself
That’s when I got churched in the, in the wild west
Not that I care, I find God so hard to impress
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t waste your time when I’ve got a (Ah-ooh) backbone of steel
(Don’t waste your time)
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t push me once or I’ll shoot a (Ah-ooh) look that will kill
(I’ll shoot you down)
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t waste your time when I’ve got a (Ah-ooh) backbone of steel
(Don’t waste your time)
(Ah-ooh)
Don’t push me once or I’ll shoot a look that will kill ya
[Chorus]
From LA to San Francisco
I lost my mind in San Bernardino
Even Chula Vista and Modesto
I broke my heart in San Diego
[Bridge]
Wild in the west (It’s so wild)
It’s so wild in the west
(It’s so wild, it’s so wild)
(It’s so wild in the west)
Wild wild west
[Chorus]
From LA to San Francisco
I lost my mind in (I lost my mind) San Bernardino
(Even Chula) Even Chula Vista and Modesto
I broke my heart (I broke my heart) in San Diego
From LA to San Francisco
I lost my mind in San Bernardino
Even Chula Vista and Modesto
I break my heart wherever I go
