가사
[Intro: guitar strums softly]
Mmm, yeah, oh-oh...
[Verse 1]
[Steady drumbeat starts]
In the heart of the wild, where the trails are untamed,
Backpack hoisted, spirits high, nature's calling my name.
[Tambourine shakes]
I wander valleys flowing up into mountains ever-more steep,
Every step on the journey, a memory to keep.
[Chorus]
[Harmonica blends in]
Oh, the great outdoors, where my soul feels free,
Backpacking's the life, the life for me.
[Vocalizations: "Ah-ah-ah" in harmony]
But when the trail ends, and I'm back in the store,
I'm just a guide in the aisles, they don't hear me no more.
[Verse 2]
[Banjo playfully plucks]
I speak to the faces, offer wisdom from the woods,
But their eyes glaze over, my words misunderstood.
[Shaker adds rhythm]
So I dream of the rivers and the crisp mountain air,
Where the only advice needed is how to get there.
[Bridge]
[Violin plays a longing melody]
There's a whisper in the wind, it's calling me back,
To the freedom of the trail, off the beaten track.
[Vocalizations: Soft] Ooo oOo ooO
[Drop]
[Electric guitar riff, energy builds]
And then it hits me, like a thunderclap's roar,
Hey! hey eyy (heh)
The store's just a gateway, to adventures galore!
The backpacking store's just a gateway, to adventures galore!
[Chorus. Harmonica intensifies]
Oh, the great outdoors, it's calling me home,
Backpacking's the call of the wild unknown.
Ah-ah-ah Ah! AH!
I'll take the disdain, the ignorance, the bore,
Cause every unheeded tip opens another door of release
(sets me free! so free)
[Verse 3]
[Mandolin joins in softly]
Like this twist in the tale of the seldom-trod trail,
A customer listened, her interest unveiled.
[Whispered vocalizations] Ah… ahh . aa
She asked for a guide to the paths where the wildflowers bloom,
And suddenly, the backpacking store felt less like a tomb.
[Outro]
[Acoustic guitar returns, softening mood]
So I'll cherish our moments indoors and out with she I adore
For every end has become another new beginning, this life we explore evermore.
Mmm – mm - m
And suddenly, the backpacking store felt less like a tomb.
[Outro]
[Acoustic guitar returns, softening mood]
So I'll cherish our moments indoors and out with she I adore
For every end has become another new beginning, this life we explore evermore.
Mmm – mm – m, wappu-dah-wu-u
