JOHN HIATT lyrics - Fly Back Home 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." [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 |
