WILD LIFE
 (Words and Music by Richard Marx and Rick Springfield )


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 ride
It's a Wild Life
And we all just got to land on our feet

Livin' my life, chasing love and glory
Runnin' 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'd rather 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 ride
It's a Wild Life
And we 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'd 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 ride
It's a Wild Life
And we all just got to land on our feet

yeah, yeah
It's a Wild Life
Movin to a heart beat
It's a Wild Life
All we do is ride
It's a Wild Life
And we better learn to land on our feet
