Treetop Song - The Mountain Goats

All along the interstate\nThe palm trees were calling out to me\nThe line of them stretched fown the highway forever\nAs far as I could see\nAnd I waited til the sun was coming up\nLight morning traffic and a cool spring breeze\nI heard the old voices calling down\nFrom the tops of the trees\nWhen I got up to the top, my head got light\nFor a minute everything in the world was alright\nAnd I saw the next tree just 10 feet away\nGive or take a few feet I guess\nAnd then I pushed off into the air with all my might\nAnd headed out into the center of the morning light\nAnd I knew that I was gonna make it\nThe new tree hardly shook to acknowledge my arrival\nAnd I knew that I would be alright
