Marshall Tucker Band - Fly Eagle Fly Lyrics
I can't imagine how the world would beNot to see the gray squirrel climbing in an oak treeTo walk through a corn field and not see the wild duck flyinI believe before the world ever got that badI'd be on my knees cryinWon't you fly, oh eagle flyYou better run, little cottontail, runI hope you both live long enough to see the setting sunThe lion ain't got no jungleOld black bear got no caveAnd that poor old alligatorJust bout seen his better daysWon't you fly, oh eagle flyYou better run, little cottontail, runI hope you both live long enough to see the setting sunOn a cold winter morning I could look up in the skyAnd I could see the wild geese flyAnd on a warm spring day I could look up in the airAnd I could see the yellow butterflyHow long has it been since you heard the tiny flutterOf the little wing of a hummingbirdAnd I once saw the picture of a buffaloA thousand in the herdWon't you fly, oh eagle flyYou better run, little cottontail, runI hope you both live long enough to see the setting sunFly, mister eagle, flyYou better run little cottontail, run
