The Woods

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I’m tired of living in the cities and the towns.

With all the city people rushing around

Saying life is no good in the woods

Well, I’ll take my bow and I’ll take my knife.

I’ll take my gun and I’ll take my wife.

It’s time get back to basics in the woods

I’ll build a cabin out of earth and trees.

Cover the roof with lots of leaves

And live out all my days in the woods

I’ll spend my days hunting bear and deer

End eat whatever else comes near

I’ll eat whatever I can shoot in the words

There is nothing here for me in this old town

There is too many crazy people running around

I’ve got cars running up and down my road all day long

I long to hear the sound of nature’s song

Well I have no boss and I have no bills.

I go out and shoot critters for thrills.

That’s just how life is in the woods

When the powers out and the gas is gone.

When there’s no food and the riots on

It doesn’t change a thing for my life in the woods

I’ve got a fire, I shot some food,

I’ve got fresh water and ammo too

That’s all I really need in the woods

Life is good, the air is clean,

Trees and critters are all I see

And that’s the way I like it in the woods

There is nothing here for me in this old town

There is too many crazy people running around

I’ve got cars running up and down my road all day long

I long to hear the sound of nature’s song

There is tale, legends too, that strike fear and cause nightmares too

Of a wild man and his wife living out in the woods

They say it might be sasquatch the jersey devil too,

It’s really sad they have no clue

It’s only my wife and I living out in the woods

Whatever it takes to keep them out

Let them scream and let them shout

I like things the way they are in the woods

Life is good, life is clean

We got away from the city and town scene

There’s no one else but us here in the woods

There is nothing here for me in this old town

There is too many crazy people running around

I’ve got cars running up and down my road all day long

I long to hear the sound of nature’s song
