Lyrics

Toby was alive and feelin’ free
Cuttin’ loose to see what he could see
Searchin’ for a friend to share my time
Lookin’ for a mountin I can climb
Ain’t afraid of death or no voodoo
Do the best that I can do

With the spirit of the wild runnin’ free
I got the spirit of the wild inside of me, yeah!

Angry at the state of world afairs
Angry at the fools that just don’t care
This is guarenteed to go no where
Even like a dog, that’s been abused
I will never ever loose

With the spirit of the wild inside of me
I got the spirit of the wild runnin’ free
I got the spirit of the wild inside of me, yeah!

Got the spirit of the wild yea!

Won’t believe the lie that time will tell
Gonna tell the world to go to the

Spirit of the wild is runnin’ free
I got the spirit of the wild inside of me, yeah, yeah!
Spirit of the wild, is runnin’ free, I got the spirit of the wild
I got the spirit of the wild inside of me, oh yeah
Can you feel it, Can you feel it,got the spirit, of the wild
I got the spirit of the wild inside of me, oh
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Spirit of the wild, of the wild
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Lyrics

There I was, back in the wild again
And I felt right at home where I belong
I had that feelin’ comin’ over me again
Just like it happened so many times before

The spirit of the woods is like an old good friend
It makes me feel warm and good inside
I knew his name and it was good to see him again
‘Cause in the wind he’s still alive

Oh, Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again
Take me back, back where I belong
Oh, Fred Bear, I’m glad to have you at my side, my friend
And I’ll join you in the big hunt before too long
Before too long

It was kinda dark, another misty dusk
And it came from a tangle down below
I tried to remember everything he taught me so well
I had to decide which way to go

Was I alone or in a hunter’s dream?
‘Cause the moment of truth was here and now
I felt his touch, I felt his guiding hand
The buck was mine, forevermore

Because of Fred Bear
I’ll walk down these trails again
Take me back where I belong
Oh, Fred Bear, I’m glad to have you at my side my friend
And I’ll join you in the big hunt before too long

We’re not alone when we’re in the great outdoors
We got his spirit, we’ve got his soul
He will guide our steps, he’ll guide our arrows home
The restless spirit forever roams

Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again
Take me back, back where I belong
Oh, Fred Bear, I’m glad to have you at my side, my friend
And I’ll join you on the big hunt before too long
Oh, Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again
Take me back, back where I belong
Oh, Fred Bear, I’m glad to have you at my side, my friend
And I’ll join you in the big hunt before too long

In the wind he’s still alive
In the wind he’s still alive
In the wind he’s still alive
In the wind he’s still alive
In the wind, I hear, I hear Fred Bear

(I hear ya Fred,
Talk to me,
Yea,
Its all right
Yea,lets go hunting baby
Say Fred, you go up that ridge
And I’ll go down in the swamp
We’ll get that buck)
(Fred)
(If some of our teenage thrill seekers really want to go out and get a thrill.
Let them go up into the north west and let them tangle with a Grizzly bear or Polar bear or brown bear and get that effect that will cleanse the soul)

Lyrics

I ain’t got time for make believin’
My time is short, but I’m here to stay
No politics will cure the grievin’
So I choose my life, but I choose it my way

(And) just like the wolf, I’m getting hungry
The law of the land, it is my will
And I ain’t got time for staying angry
But I got the time to make a kill
Watch me kill

I’m gonna live tooth, fang, and claw
I’m gonna live, and I live my way
Watch me live tooth, fang, and claw
Watch me live an extra day

The red man he walked on a sacred hillside
The black man he runs through his Africa
But my daddy stalked the amber prairies
We all gotta live by nature’s law
Watch me live

I’m gonna live tooth, fang, and claw
I’m gonna live, and I live my way
Watch me live tooth, fang, and claw
Watch me live an extra day
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Don’t you worry about me
‘Cause I can and I will survive
I’m running with the pack babe
And like a lone wolf I am alive
Like my forefathers before me
I can use my own two hands
You best believe me
I can live off the land
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The red man walked on a sacred hillside
And the black man still runs in Africa
Fred Bear he stalked the amber prairies
Me too
We all gotta live by nature’s law
Live

I’m gonna live tooth, fang, and claw
I’m gonna live, and I live my way
Watch me live tooth, fang, and claw
And watch me live an extra day
I got ta gotta gotta live
Hey hey
Tooth, fang, and claw

Hey hey
Tooth, fang, and claw

Hey hey
Tooth, fang, and claw
Live, live

Hey hey
Tooth, fang, and claw
I gotta live
Hey hey hey hey
Tooth, fang, and claw
I’m alive I’m alive oh whoa
Hey hey hey hey
Tooth fang and claw
I gotta gotta gotta live

Lyrics

I was always different,
Nobody understood
I didn’t play “Follow The Leader”,
‘Cause I was always in the woods

They hadn’t invented peer pressure yet,
It seemed I stood alone
But my daddy had a vision;
Yeah, love, family and a home

Punks used to laugh at me!
They said how can you rock and not get high?
So I just stood my ground,
And I watched those assholes fall and die! (’cause)

I just wanna go hunting!
It makes me feel so good!
I just wanna go hunting,
Try to find me in the woods!

Things’re getting a little crazy,
In this day in age –
The concrete jungle warfare
Has got everybody in a rage.

I sure like rock and danger!
And I crave my Rock’n’Roll,
But when I get my limit,
I know where to go!

Yeah, we jump in the four-wheel drive, (four wheel drive)
Load up the dogs and the family!
‘Cause I got to feel alive! (Feel alive!)
With the wildlife where I can breathe!

I just wanna go hunting!
It makes me feel so good!
I just wanna go hunting,
Try to find me in the woods!

I’m slippin’ away!
Lookin’ for a new sunrise!
And I feel okay,
‘Cause it’s times like this that make me healthy and wise!

(Yeah, load ’em up my boys, c’mon!)

Na na na na na na,
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na,
Na na na na na

Yeah, God told me in the bible,
He said Go ahead and whack ’em, Ted,
So I take my kids huntin’,
So I don’t gotta hunt for my kids

Yeah, we jump in the four-wheel drive, (four wheel drive)
Load up the dogs and the family!
‘Cause I got to feel alive! (Feel alive!)
With the wildlife where we can breathe! (C’mon!)

I just wanna go hunting!
It makes me feel so good!
I just wanna go hunting,
Try to find me in the woods!

I just wanna go huntin’,
‘Cause it’ll make that feeling last!
And if you don’t like my huntin’,
Then you can kiss my ass!

I just wanna go hunting!
It makes me feel so good!
I just wanna go hunting,
Try to find me in the woods!

Na na na na na na,
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na,
Na na na na na

I just wanna go huntin,
Na na na na na
I just wanna go huntin,
Na na na na na

(C’mon baby!
Let’s go huntin’, yeah?
Get the kids!
Get the dogs!
Get the guns!
Get the bow and arrow!
Get the fishing rod, baby!
In the wild!
Out in the wild, baby!)

Lyrics

I say how can it be that man owns the land, can we possess the sky, the wind, the call of the seasons ?
Man does not own the earth, but rather the earth owns man, were merely caretakers of the wild for our children
We must show reverence for nature, the ground we share, and the spirit of the wild
We must respect each new sunrize

Take a deep breath, feel the spirit of the wild

Feel our instincts, feel the heart of the hunter
Each new day, each new sunrize can bring the renewal of life, the renewal of the spirit
Keep your senses alert, learn to appreciate the value of that sign
The excitement of that smell, that sightthe aroma of the woods

Cherish the beauty of our brother the eagle, the deer, our blood brother the bear

As the new sun warms our new day, thrill at the adventure of being one with nature
As the majestic buck melts out of the swamp, feel the spirit come alive
Hold tight to your bow and arrow, grab the spirit,
Feel its presence, feel the spirit of the wild
Hey, there he is, in the wind
The sensual stimuli, the thrill that will cleanse the soul,
Go ahead, feel alive
The sunrize is on fire, as our senses, our very lifeblood is on fire
Share these sensations with your friends,
Share em with the children,
For life is a series of sunrizes
The spirit of the wild

Lyrics

When I was a little boy
I played with all of my toys
I had my favorite puppy dog
Like other girls and boys

And I had my bow and arrow
I’d take it to the woods
Momma smiled and waved at me
Proud I was doin good

Then I grew up into this world
And I watched the people change
I saw the cities kill their souls
I started feelin strange

So I grabbed my bow and arrow
Take it back to my woods
I found that straight and narrow
And I knew I was doin good

And when I see a little boy or little girl
Who feels a little out of place
Take em by the hand into the wild
Watch that smile come across their face

Because, here we feel alive and free
Our spirit rises high
We have found us a better world
And they’ll save it for you and I

If your kid’s in front of the tv set
With no smile just a stare
Shut it down you’ll have no regrets
Take em outside for some air

And give em a simple, bow and arrow
Watch him aim for the sky
He’ll find the spirit of the wild
And he’ll stay there till the day he dies

And watch him, he’ll share it with his own boys and girls
They will surely know
That mother nature, she needs us all
She’ll grow a seed that we sow

So plant it with a, a bow and arrow
A bow and arrow, my bow and arrow
The bow and arrow
I shoot it all the
Bow and arrow, aim for the sky
Bow and arrow, shoot it all the time
My bow and arrow, my bow and arrow
Bow and arrow, my bow and arrow
My bow and arrow, it saved my life
Bow and arrow, I’m gonna shoot
Bow and arrow, aim for the sky
Bow and arrow, ohoh
I always played cowboys and indians
And I was the indian
I found the spirit, and I sent my arrow high
I get high with my arrow, I aim for the sky

Lyrics

All right!

Well, listen everybody
To what I got to say
There’s hope for tomorrow
If we wake up today

Well, it happened long ago
In the new magic land
The Indians and the buffalo
They existed hand in hand
Well, the Indians needed food
And skins for a roof
Only took what they needed
Millions of buffalo were the proof

I said, hey!

But then came the white man
With his thick and empty head
He couldn’t see past the billfold
He wanted all the buffalo dead

So the Indians had a fear
There we no buffalo to be found
The magic seemed to be missing
It started to look like a burial ground

But above the canyon walls
Strong eyes did glow
The leader of the land
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
Great white buffalo

Well, he got the battered herd
And he led ’em ‘cross the land
With the great white buffalo
They gonna make a final stand

Now, listen everybody
To what I’ve got to say
There’s hope for tomorrow
We wake up on today
There’s hope for tomorrow
If we wake up today

The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
