Fly Back Home - John Hiatt[00:00:00]
Saw a red tailed hawk eating road kill[00:00:09]
Said man what happened to your dignity[00:00:11]
He said subdivisions have taken my home[00:00:17]
There's no more pray to eat[00:00:21]
I said where we gonna live[00:00:26]
He said anywhere you want to I guess[00:00:28]
All you creatures walking upright round here[00:00:35]
Well you've really made a mess[00:00:39]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:00:43]
To the green fields of our youth[00:00:47]
Where friends and family set the tone[00:00:52]
With the hardcore language of the truth[00:00:56]
I know times bent on destruction[00:01:01]
The past is over every day[00:01:05]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:01:10]
But we can't so I guess I'll just fly away[00:01:14]
An owl swooped down[00:01:25]
As I was driving my pickup through the creek[00:01:27]
He said I was only trying to scare you[00:01:33]
But instead you scared the hell right out of me[00:01:36]
With three hundred forty five houses[00:01:42]
A locking differential and four wheel drive[00:01:45]
I guess you were living large there country boy[00:01:51]
I was just trying to survive[00:01:54]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:01:59]
To the green fields of our youth[00:02:03]
Where friends and family set the tone[00:02:08]
With the hardcore language of the truth[00:02:12]
I know times bent on destruction[00:02:17]
The past is over every day[00:02:22]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:02:26]
But we can't so I guess I'll just fly away[00:02:30]
There was a rattlesnake up on the road[00:03:12]
I ran him over and over til he died[00:03:14]
Then his ghost rose up[00:03:21]
And curled around this fear I hold inside[00:03:23]
He flew on off to heaven[00:03:30]
As I sat there in my instrument of death[00:03:32]
I had to think what I was doing[00:03:39]
I had to think just to draw another breath[00:03:41]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:03:47]
To the green fields of our youth[00:03:51]
Where friends and family set the tone[00:03:56]
With the hardcore language of the truth[00:04:00]
I know times bent on destruction[00:04:05]
The past is over every day[00:04:09]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:04:14]
But we can't so I guess I'll just fly away[00:04:18]
I wish we both could fly back home[00:04:23]
So I guess I'll just fly away[00:04:27]
