The Marshall Tucker Band - Fly Eagle Fly lyrics

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 bu*terfly 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
