Where The Crawdads Sing

Chorus:
I want to go where the crawdads sing
Way out yonder to the very fringe
Where the marshland and ocean mix
Never seen a place so rich

V1
Nature never lets you down
Birds and critters stay the same
People are another thing
There you have a different game
V2
People always tell you lies
You can’t ever drop your guard
Declare they really love you
Leave you with a broken heart

Repeat chorus

Nature never let me down
In the wilderness where I live
Painting and writing the words
Bout the joy the marshlands give

Repeat chorus
