Shake The Tree

(album: Shooting At The Sun - 2003)

I've been thinking about it so long now
Wanna quit the smoke and move on out
I've been missing something, I've been changing fast
Just took 'til now to work it out

I wanna feel the distance, I wanna see the sky
I wanna sit and watch that river flow
I can't wait forever and if I'm gonna reap
I've gotta sew
So I'm gonna shake the tree and go

Got a beautiful woman, got the friends I need
All I'd be leaving is this place
I was born and raised here and the roots run deep
But I've gotta put that smile back on my face

See the colours changing as the seasons turn around
No traffic booming in my ears
I'd maybe miss the madness
But I've seen enough of that to let me know
That I've gotta shake the tree and go
Move on out now,oh
Here we go

I've been thinking about it for so long now
Wanna quit the smoke and move on out
I've been missing something, I've been changing fast
Just took 'til now to work it out

I wanna feel the distance, I wanna see the sky
I wanna sit and watch that river flow
I can't wait forever and if I'm gonna reap
I've gotta sew
I've gotta shake the tree and go
I've gotta shake the tree and go
Move out of the City
Cash my chips and quit
Shake the tree and go
