lyrics

Half of them want a revolution,
the other half wants a revelation.
Back to the woods or back to the good ole Lord.

Some folks think there's a second coming,
others don't but most come running
Back to the woods or back to the good ole Lord.

How many times have we been through this,
we ain't going to be the last ones through this
Life In the woods or life in the good ole Lord.

But if the lights go down on the ole town,
You bet you that you're gonna want to be around
To witness life in the woods or life in the good ole Lord.

If we lived on the land would we understand,
that man needs man and lend a helping hand
To make a life the woods or a life in the good ole Lord.

Whether there's heaven after Armageddon,
we won't know till the sun comes settin'
Down on the woods or down on the good ole Lord.

But one thing's certain this world's sure hurtin',
and folks can't wait to release their burdens,
‪ Out on‬ the woods or out on the good ole Lord.‬‬‬

Are there folks still willing to stop the killing,
and fight for this world where were still living
And not fall back on the woods or back on the good ole Lord.
