Head out west young man That's what they said to me These flyover states have nothing for you They ain't the place to be. Start a new life in the sun and the sand Be who you wanna be Everyone's free and everyone cool That's what they said to me. Wouldn'tcha know it I just can't believe it There's just no work for me. Just another trimmigant in the promised land Lord have pity on me. So now I'm one of the boys in the wood A merry band of misfits We live in the forest high above town Sorry bunch of rejects. But that's okay, its all for one and one for all For all of us boys in the wood. Hey momma, I'm doing alright Just living day to day. I'm a little lighter and my beard's a little longer But I'm still your baby boy Well, the police tried to round us up Told us we're trespassing on bureau land Most of us escaped in the trees But I got caught by the Man Wouldn'tcha know it I just can't believe it There's just no luck for me. Just another immigrant in the promised land Lord have pity on me. Well, my hearing is next Wednesday And I'm hoping it will all go well The judge doesn't seem too friendly Where I'll end up I just can't tell
