lyrics

I GOT A TREE

Surrounded by unexpected lovers
Oozing romance, roses and such
So silky, milky sweet, so tempting to me
But I don’t envy your flowers

I got a tree, solid and true
I got a tree with roots back to you
I got a tree with years of rings
I got a tree

I hear the loon call, the single life
Calling the wild out in me
It looks real nice from far away
But up real close it’s not the same

You yell at me, I don’t know why
I hole up, I start to cry
We regret ourselves and make up quick
No flowers here but we’ve

Got a tree, solid and true
We got a tree with lots and lots of roots
We got a tree with family rings
We got a tree to last long past the flowers
