Call Of The Wild – Lyrics

Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild

People tell me this
And people that me that

Ooohh, everybody thinks they know
Where it’s at

Life is getting harder
And it’s tearing me down

It’s time to pack my bags
I’m gonna leave this town

The call of the wild is calling me
The wilderness is beckoning me
The call of the wild is calling me
Where nature moves over the free

Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild

People quibbling this
And people quibbling that

The ones with the money
Just keep on getting that

There ain’t no solitude
The quiets getting loud

Any place you want to go
Gotta fight right through the crowd

The call of the wild is calling me
The wilderness is beckoning me
The call of the wild is calling me
Where nature moves over the free
The earth and the sky and the sea
The numbers of signs you can see
The call of the wild is calling me
The call of the wild is calling me
The wilderness is beckoning me
The call of the wild is calling me
