[00:00.05]Crooked Tree - Molly Tuttle/Golden Highway
[00:00.73]Lyrics by：Melody Walker/Molly Tuttle
[00:04.80]Two trees in the forest
[00:06.54]One was crooked one was straight
[00:09.20]Crimson bark and emerald needles
[00:11.42]Growing day by day
[00:13.62]And though they looked so different
[00:15.33]They enjoyed the rain the same
[00:17.60]Side by side
[00:22.35]A chickadee had told them
[00:24.30]Of a darkness on the land
[00:26.96]Spinning blades that came to visit
[00:29.13]Carried by a man
[00:31.30]And every other tree would see them
[00:33.65]Cut down where they stand
[00:35.49]By and by
[00:39.39]Oh can't you see
[00:41.39]A crooked tree won't fit into the mill machine
[00:47.34]They're left to grow wild and free
[00:52.01]Oh I'd rather be a crooked tree
[01:12.38]The perfect trees were driven
[01:13.81]Down the mountain to the mill
[01:16.22]They turned them into toothpicks
[01:18.22]And twenty dollar bills
[01:20.37]It seemed the more the people took
[01:22.43]The more they needed still
[01:24.42]In the end
[01:28.97]The crooked trees were left there
[01:30.52]After all the work was done
[01:33.09]Now they go for weeks
[01:34.59]And never witness anyone
[01:37.28]No one left to tell them if they're
[01:39.43]Growing right or wrong
[01:40.92]But the whispering wind
[01:44.93]Oh can't you see
[01:47.20]A crooked tree won't fit into the mill machine
[01:52.60]They're left to grow wild and free
[01:57.32]I'd rather be a crooked tree
[02:17.90]People say I'm different
[02:19.53]My way of life seems strange
[02:21.93]I took the road less traveled
[02:23.72]Twists and turns along the way
[02:26.24]But like the crooked tree
[02:28.03]I'm growing stronger day by day
[02:30.15]As the clouds roll by
[02:34.95]A river never wonders
[02:36.59]Why it flows around the bend
[02:39.10]A mountain doesn't question
[02:40.85]How it rose up from the land
[02:43.35]So who am I to wish
[02:44.93]I wasn't just the way I am
[02:47.17]Who am I
[02:49.18]Oh can't you see
[02:51.22]A crooked tree won't fit into the mill machine
[02:56.80]They're left to grow wild and free
[03:01.28]Oh I'd rather be a crooked tree
[03:04.84]A crooked tree won't fit into the mill machine
[03:10.08]They're left to grow wild and free
[03:14.76]I'd rather be a crooked tree
[03:18.21]Oh I'd rather be a crooked tree
