Kiss Mother Nature Goodbye Songtext

von Hank Williams Jr.

The oil tankers poisoned the oceans.
Bulldozers raviged the land.
We've taken from sweet mother(d)nature,
Just about all she can stand.
She just keeps holdin'our hand.

There's a big tractor loose in the forest,
Ripping the trees from the earth.
Those redwoods are falling to progress,
But a few roots still grip the earth.
How much is that timber worth? well it's

(chorous)
Time to start askin some questions, like
How long can we hold our breath. the
Smoke from those big city factorys is
Chokin'this country to death.i
Don't claim to have all the answers, but how
Long can the truth be denied.if
We don't get our act together. start
Lookin'for ways to survive.we can
Kiss mother nature goodbye.

Now there's still some fish in the river,
And young eagles learning to fly.
The hope of the next generation,
Is soaring up there in the sky.
But i'm afraid i can read his mind.

(repeat chorous)
