Branching Out

When I grow up I want to be a tree

Want to make my home with the birds and the bees

And the squirrels, they can count on me

When I grow up to be a tree

I'll let my joints get stiff, put my feet in the ground

Take the winters off and settle down

Keep my clothes till they turn brown

When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down

CHORUS:

I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach

I'm gonna reach, reach for the sky

I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach

I'm gonna reach, till I know why

When the spring comes by I'm gonna get real green

If the dogs come by I'm gonna get real mean

On windy days, I'll bend and lean

When I grow up I'm gonna get real green

(BRIDGE)

If I should fall in storm or slumber

Please don't turn me into lumber

I'd rather be a Louisville slugger

Swinging for the seats...

repeat chorus and fade
