Molly Ledford & Billy Kelly - Angel Oak lyrics

Angel Oak, I'm not allowed to climb you Angel Oak, there are park rangers around Angel Oak, I've always wished to climb a tree and I see the way you lay your branches down Wish I could wander up the ramp of you And look down I'd love to stroll on up your branches But it's not allowed It's fair and square I'd never dare to lean on you Don't have to tell me that I'm not above the law Unlike the birds, unlike the squirrels They pa** right through There are advantages to being wild and small If I could follow the same path they do Along your boughs I'd hold my arms straight out for balance They'd never get me down Back to the ground But you're a famous tree A tree that has a name And a postcard and a gate So I'll stay far enough away that brittle rules will never break But close enough to dream while I'm awake Oh, Angel Oak Angel Oak
