Marshall Tucker Band - Fly Eagle Fly lyrics

rate me

I can't imagine how the world would be

Not to see the gray squirrel climbing in an oak tree

To walk through a corn field and not see the wild duck flyin

I believe before the world ever got that bad

I'd be on my knees cryin

Won't you fly, oh eagle fly

You better run, little cottontail, run

I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun

The lion ain't got no jungle

Old black bear got no cave

And that poor old alligator

Just bout seen his better days

Won't you fly, oh eagle fly

You better run, little cottontail, run

I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun

On a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky

And I could see the wild geese fly

And on a warm spring day I could look up in the air

And I could see the yellow butterfly

How long has it been since you heard the tiny flutter

Of the little wing of a hummingbird

And I once saw the picture of a buffalo

A thousand in the herd

Won't you fly, oh eagle fly

You better run, little cottontail, run

I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun

Fly, mister eagle, fly

You better run little cottontail, run
