lyrics

There’s a fox on the news and it’s a hell of a racket
So I pull on my boots and my walking jacket
If I gave a hoot would they come and haul me away?

There’s owls in these woods I hear ‘em pining
From the tops of the firs when the moonlight is shining
I’d sure like to see one but they’re always hiding...

If I had wings I would fly up the mountainside
Light in the treetops, turn to the world and say
“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”

The man on the TV, he’s a loud such and such
He works up the crowd, they yell and they cuss
They don’t look around cuz their heads can’t turn very much.

If I had wings I would fly up the mountainside
Light in the treetops, turn to the world and say
“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”

Who makes the winds blow and
Who told these birds they could fly?
Who suffers the fools
And fools with the proud and the wise?

I stand by the woods and I wait for the owls
It does my soul good to hear those long vowels
Call out the truth in the darkest of hours

If I had wings I would fly up the mountainside
Light in the treetops, turn to the world and say
“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”
