lyrics

I'm Just A Moose - Paul D. Heckman and Michael Caucutt


I was mighty and bold - And I grew to be old
When Alaska was young and inviting
Now I've been changed - By a hunter deranged,
And my prospects are less than exciting

We wandered so free - My Creator and me
Over valleys and forests together.
Now I'm stuck in this place - Not all, just my face
On a wall in a cabin forever.

Chorus
Oh, give me the days
When I roamed in a rage,
And I leapt to the wilderness call;
Now I think, "What's the use?"
I'm only a moose ...
A moose on a log cabin wall.

Oh, I wish I could cry - Looking down from on high
Over humans who glance up at me;
They dance and they laugh - But I can't - I'm not half
Of the old moose that I used to be.

I don’t mean to complain - 'Cause I'm out of the rain,
But perhaps you can read my expression,
I feel without fail - Up here on my nail,
I now know the height of depression.

Chorus

So, think of these sights - As you try to sleep nights,
And remember my eyes fair and true.
They look to you folks - As one of your jokes,
And prefer that you'd mount caribou.

Chorus (x2)
