Lyrics
All My children Have Grown now
Why wont they leave Home?
It's not like I'm frightened of being alone
I'd like to pull up stakes and buy me a Harley and Ride
My Body is broke, But I still want to fly away
My wings may be broke but I still want to Fly away
I just saw another dead deer in the road
They've cut all the trees down they've nowhere to go
WHy do we need another drug store in this town?
The whole country's on drugs and that's why we
elected a clown My spirit is broke but I still want to Fly Away
My Wings may be broke but I still want to fly away
I cant stand to watch anything on TV
I just see worse and worse versions of me
The violence and bloodshed have made us comfortably numb
We're like frogs on a hotplate that'll cook when the heat comes on
My dreams are all broke But I still want to fly away
My wings may be broke but I still want to fly away
