Branching Out (John Gorka) When I grow up I want to be a tree. I want to make my home with the birds and the bees. And the squirrels, they can count on me. When I grow up I want 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. CHO: And 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 CHORUS (Repeat verse 1) CHORUS copyright John Gorka XX
