Too Many Trees

歌詞

I grew up where the prairie sage brush grows up to three feet high By the time I was ten, I could see over them where the mountains touch the sky I took off at eighteen to see what the world was all about Met a blue-eyed Carolina girl that had my future all planned out But you ain't ever gonna leave these hills And I wanna die where the coyote cry and the gray wolf kills From where I'm standing, I can't see forever with you and me There's too many towns and not enough cows And way too many trees I love your folks like they're my own and I'm crazy about you But there's too much cowboy in my bones to be dug up by my roots We could build ourselves a house here, but it won't ever be my home So let's call a spade a spade and just stay where we belong But you ain't ever gonna leave these hills And I wanna die where the coyote cry and the gray wolf kills From where I'm standing, I can't see forever with you and me There's too many towns and not enough cows And way too many trees So let me go 'fore it's too late Baby, spare me the heartbreak You ain't ever gonna leave these hills And I wanna die where the coyote cry and the gray wolf kills From where I'm standing, I can't see forever with you and me There's too many towns and not enough cows Too much noise and not enough sound And way too many trees
