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
