Ian Munsick – Too Many Trees Lyrics

I grew up where the prairie sage brush grows up to three feet high
By the time I was ten I could see over them
Where the mountains touch the sky

I took off at eighteen to see what the world was all about
Met a blue-eyed Carolina girl that had my future all planned out

But you ain't ever gonna leave these hills
And I want to die where the coyote cry and the gray wolf kills

From where I'm standing I can't see forever with you and me
There's too many towns and not enough cows
And way Too Many Trees

I love your folks like they're my own and I'm crazy about you
There's too much cowboy in my bones to be dug up by my roots
We can build ourselves a house here but it won't ever be my home
So let's call a spade a spade and just stay where we belong

Cause you ain't ever gonna leave these hills
And I want to die where the coyote cry and the gray wolf kills
From where I'm standing I can't see forever with you and me
There's too many towns and not enough cows
And way Too Many Trees

So let me go before it's too late
Baby spare me the heartbreak

You ain't ever gonna leave these hills
And I want to die where the coyote cry and the gray wolf kills
From where I'm standing I can't see forever with you and me
There's too many towns and not enough cows

Too much noise and not enough sounds
And way Too Many Trees
