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
