Wild Out There

The bear is on the rampage
The moose is on the loose
Better batten down the cabin door
Watch your little red caboose
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
The wolf is on the doorstep
And the rabbit’s runnin’ scared
It’s wild out there

The eagle’s on the mountain
The fish is in the brook
There’s crazy people in them hills
Man I could write a book
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
They got pepper in their hiking boots
And flowers in their hair
It’s wild out there

We jumped into a pup tent
And thought up something lewd
The ranger snuck up in the night
And caught us in the nude
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
Peace is gettin’ hard to find and
Free love’s gettin’ rare
It’s wild out there

The rich man took his money
And threw it in the lake
He cried himself a river
And the dams about to break
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
He was given all God had to give
But took more than his share
It’s wild out there

I jumped into my Hummer
I four wheeled out of town
I’m out here at the crossroads
I believe I ’m sinking down
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
On the rocky road to heaven
Crowds of people everywhere
It’s wild out there

The sky is full of smoke
Can’t tell the forest from the trees
The D.E.C. is bogged down
In the mud up to its knees
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
When there’s trouble over paradise
You can smell it in the air
It’s wild out there

The blue grass boys are pickin’
There’s lightning in the woods
They never took a lesson
But they all sure play good
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
There ain’t no education
Like that cold clean mountain air
It’s wild out there

Grandpa’s in the woodshed
With his secret magazines
Little sister’s smokin’ loco weed
And drinkin’ kerosene
It’s wild out there
It’s wild out there
Grandma’s got an outboard motor
On her rockin’ chair
It’s wild out there
