fly back home

Lyrics

saw a red tailed hawk eatin' road kill, said "man, what happened to your dignity?", he said "subdivisions have taken my home, and there's no more pray to eat.", i said, "where we gonna live?", he said "anywhere you want to, i guess, all you creature walkin' upright 'round here, well you've really made a mess.", i wish we both could fly back home, to the green fields of our youth, where friends and family set the tone, with the hardcore language of the truth, i know times bent on destruction, the past is over every day, i wish we both could fly back home, but we can't, so i guess i'll just fly away, an owl swooped down, as i was drivin' my pickup through the creek, he said, "i was only tryin' to scare ya, but instead you scared the hell right out of me.", with three hundred forty-five houses, a locking differential and four-wheel drive, i guess you were livin' large there, country boy, i was just tryin' to survive, i wish we both could fly back home, to the green fields of our youth, where friends and family set the tone, with the hardcore language of the truth, i know times bent on destruction, the past is over every day, i wish we both could fly back home, but we can't, so i guess i'll just fly away, there was a rattlesnake up on the road, i ran him over and over 'til he died, then his ghost rose up, and curled around this fear i hold inside, he flew on off to heaven, as i sat there in my instrument of death, i had to think what i was doin', i had to think just to draw another breath, i wish we both could fly back home, to the green fields of our youth, where friends and family set the tone, with the hardcore language of the truth, i know times bent on destruction, the past is over every day, i wish we both could fly back home, but we can't, so i guess i'll just fly away, i wish we both could fly back home, to the green fields of our youth, where friends and family set the tone, with the hardcore language of the truth, i know times bent on destruction, the past is over every day, i wish we both could fly back home, but we can't, so i guess i'll just fly away
