Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Well, the geese are packin’ up, headin’ outta town,
Feathers all ruffled, honkin’ loud and proud.
They’ve had enough of this nine-to-five pond,
Cold wind’s blowin’, and they’re ready to be gone.

(Chorus)
Yeah, they’re draggin’ up, flyin’ high,
Leavin’ this place for a southern sky.
No more muddy water, no more chill,
They’re headin’ where the sun warms the hills.

(Verse 2)
Worked all summer, keepin’ it cool,
Now they’re tired of swimmin’ in that same ol’ pool.
Wings stretched wide, they’re breakin’ free,
Gonna trade this pond for the open sea.

(Chorus)
Yeah, they’re draggin’ up, flyin’ high,
Leavin’ this place for a southern sky.
No more muddy water, no more chill,
They’re headin’ where the sun warms the hills.

(Bridge)
You can hear ‘em callin’, sayin’ their goodbyes,
A V-shaped line in the autumn sky.
Ain’t lookin’ back, just followin’ the breeze,
They’re draggin’ up, yeah, they’re wild and free.

(Chorus)
Yeah, they’re draggin’ up, flyin’ high,
Leavin’ this place for a southern sky.
No more muddy water, no more chill,
They’re headin’ where the sun warms the hills.

(Outro)
So wave goodbye as they take to the air,
The geese are draggin’ up, they ain’t got a care.
Flyin’ south ‘til the winter’s done,
They’ll be back next year when the work’s begun.
