Seems everybody's got a cause
On, saving trees to changing love
Now I got myself one too
Concerning me and maybe you
But you just hold all your applause

Ain't no list for you to sign
Don't need your money don't need your dime
So before you're out that door
Let me tell you what I'm for
What's been taking up my time

The preservation of the wild life
Will put them women and Jim Beam in bright lights
Takes dedication to stay up nights
Just raising hell and having fun

I've been slowed down by a good wife
Said she'd teach me how to live right
But I just keep preserving wild life
Cause that's all I've ever done

No TV program left to fan
No need to write you congressman
No love and cause can be done
I got the best one of them all
It's the grounds on which I stand

The preservation of the wild life
Will put them women and Jim Beam in bright lights
Takes dedication to stay up nights
Just raising hell and having fun

I've been slowed down by a good wife
Said she'd teach me how to live right
Boys let's just keep preserving wild life
Cause that's all we've ever done

The preservation of the wild life
Will put them women and Jim Beam in bright lights
Takes dedication to stay up nights
Just raising hell and having fun
