I was born with a ticket to survive
And a big dream in my head
It's a wild, wild life and there's no way to tame it
Or so my old man said

I knew in my heart that someday
The world would step aside
And try to see things my way
Now I know, the one thing I can count on
Is that I really can't count on anything

It's a wild life
Every road's a mean street
It's a wild life
All we do is right
It's a wild life
And we've all just got to land on our feet

Living my life, chasing love and glory
Running into walls of stone
Whether you fall or climb a hundred stories
You've gotta do it all alone

I feel like the world is calling
I've got to move along
No reasons left for stalling
And if it's mine
I'm gonna take it with a vengeance
Or maybe I better just take it as it comes

It's a wild life
Every road's a mean street
It's a wild life
All we do is right
It's a wild life
We've all just got to land on our feet

I feel like the world is calling
I've got to move along
No reasons left for stalling
And if it's mine
I'm gonna take it with a vengeance
Or maybe I better just take it as it comes

It's a wild life
Every road's a mean street
It's a wild life
All we do is right
It's a wild life
We've all just got to land on our feet

It's a wild life
Moving to a happy
It's a wild life
All we do is right
It's a wild life
We better learn to live happy
