well she rode all night from another shore

desire led the way

till she came to a place that she'd seen before

and a thousand dreams opened right in front of her face

and there's a tired little town in the bible belt

and a boy who yearns to run

and everybody held him down just as long as they could

till the day he took off like a shot from a gun sayin'

ain't never goin' home no more

there’s a voice I hear

ain't never goin' home no more

i hear the call of the wild

dontcha hang on me

this is the call of the wild

always gonna run free

and there's a cheap motel every other mile

across the great divide

and if the walls could talk you could hear the tales

of the lovers and thieves with the hunger inside

ain't never goin' home no more

ain't never goin' home no more

call of the wild

dontcha hang on me

i hear the call of the wild

always gonna run free.
