Callin' Me
Wanderlust Anthem: Answering the Call of the Wild by Tanner Laws
Lyrics
I oughta pack a few things up and leave this place behind
I feel the need to leave my current environment and start anew.
Go live off of the land like they did in olden times
Considering a simple life, living off the land reminiscent of the past.
I think that I could do it. I reckon I'd be fine
Confident that I could thrive in such a lifestyle.
I can make a bow from hickory. I can tie my own flies
Capable of crafting tools from natural materials, like a bow from hickory, and tying fishing flies.
I'm good with traps and snares. I'm handy with a knife
Skilled in setting traps and snares, adept with a knife.
And I don't mind the blood and dirt. They both wash out just fine
Comfortable with the challenges of a rugged life, where blood and dirt are temporary and washable.
Where the wind may blow; that's where I wanna go
Expressing a desire to go wherever the wind takes me.
High in the mountains. Down by the riverside
Yearning for a life in the mountains or by the riverside.
What's a restless soul to do when freed
Contemplating the actions of a restless soul once freed from life's experiences.
Of all the joy and pain that livin' did to me
Reflecting on the liberation from both the joys and pains of life.
That wild, untamed land is callin' me
Feeling a magnetic pull towards a wild and untamed land.
I think about her often. It tears me up inside.
Frequently thinking about a significant person, causing emotional distress.
A bottle keeps me warm now that that woman left my side
Using a bottle to cope with the emotional void left by a departed partner.
I stare up at the stars while I lay awake at night
Contemplating life while gazing at the stars during sleepless nights.
And I dream about her sweet love every time I close my eyes
Dreaming about the lost love every time closing the eyes.
Where the wind may blow; that's where I wanna go
Reiterating the desire to go wherever the wind blows, this time high in the mountains or down by a wide valley.
High in the mountains. Down where the valley's wide
Continued longing for a life in the mountains or by a wide riverside.
What's a restless soul to do when freed
Questioning the actions of a restless soul now freed from the joy and pain caused by a woman.
Of all the joy and pain that woman gave to me
Reflecting on the emotional impact of a woman in the past.
That wild, untamed land is callin' me
Reiterating the magnetic pull towards a wild and untamed land.
It's callin' me
Emphasizing the compelling call of the wild land.
