The song "Wild As A Turkey" by Hayes Carll is about a man who is wild and reckless, always coming and going too fast. He has a broken down Corvette and a suitcase full of memories. He meets a woman who claims she'll never love him, but he's determined to change her mind. The narrator has been a gambler since the age of 21 and has seen his share of troubles. He feels like the whole world is against him just because he likes to have fun. However, he's not going to let anyone slow him down. The chorus of the song repeats "I'm wild as a turkey, higher than a Christmas moon, empty as my wallet on a Sunday afternoon, I come around too fast and I always leave too soon, ain't that what they all say?" This emphasizes his free-spirited, impulsive nature. He invites the woman to come away with him, to leave this place behind and explore something new. He assures her they don't need sleep and that he'll show her a good time. Overall, the song is about living in the moment and not worrying about the future. The narrator embraces his wild side and encourages the woman to do the same.
