Meter clicks a steady beat
Tires hum on asphalt heat
Take a turn by the river bend
Where the city limits end
Green leaves and the golden fur
Everything is just a blur
Pay the fare to see the show
Where the wilder spirits go
Glass is fogged by morning dew
Painting vistas bright and new
Peacocks strut in velvet gowns
Far away from noisy towns
Green leaves and the golden fur
Everything is just a blur
Pay the fare to see the show
Where the wilder spirits go
Check the map and shift the gear
The jungle canopy is near
Tigers pace in orange light
Holding back the coming night
Steel and wire hold the line
Everything is looking fine
Shift the weight and feel the glide
Take a ride on the wild side
Old roads wind through sandy plains
Washing off the city stains
Giraffes reach for the highest tree
Setting every tired vision free
Green leaves and the golden fur
Everything is just a blur
Pay the fare to see the show
Where the wilder spirits go
Rain drops hit the yellow roof
Life is here in living proof
From the tundra to the heat
Every journey feels complete
Green leaves and the golden fur
Everything is just a blur
Pay the fare to see the show
Where the wilder spirits go
Keep the change and hit the gas
Watch the wild kingdom pass
Wild ticket ride.
