The Mountain Goats - Treetop Song lyrics

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