lirik lagu john hiatt - 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 h-ll 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
