[Verse 1] Storm clouds are building above the timber line The lightning's flashing across the mountain side The thunder's rollin' down the canyons of his mind Somewhere beyond the great divide [Verse 2] The bugle of the bull elk echos through pines The north wind moans her lonesome lullaby He hungers for the freedom of an eagle as she glides Somewhere beyond the great divide [Chorus] He's heard the call of the wild He's heard the call of the wild The mountains callin' to him like a mother calls her child He's heard the call of the wild [Verse 3]
Livin' in the city oh it gets to be a grind Puttin' in his hours workin' overtime Waitin' for the day he can leave it all behind To go somewhere beyond the great divide [Bridge] He's got to get away from the city for a while He's gotta answer the call of the wild [Chorus] He's heard the call of the wild He's heard the call of the wild The mountains callin' to him like a mother calls her child He's heard the call of the wild [Outro] He's heard the call of the wild He's heard the call of the wild He's heard the call of the wild
