The Bird |
Well my throat was dry and it was getting late |
I was at this bar on the interstate |
When this guy with this bird on his shoulder walked through the door |
He proceeded to tell me the wildest thing |
Sir this bird of mine can sing |
Like no other bird you ever heard before |
Well I kinda looked at the guy and said oh really |
He turned to the bird and said do ole Willie |
When the bird started singing I almost fell in the floor |
Whisky River take my mind |
Don’t let her memory torture to me |
Whisky River don’t run dry |
You’re all I’ve got take care of me |
Well if that ain’t the durndest thing |
I thought son what a heck of a thing |
A man could get rich making that bird sing |
And I could feel this wild idea coming on strong |
And besides I’m sitting here with two weeks pay |
And I’d probably blow it on beer anyway |
Hey wait â??til you hear him sing like George Jones |
He stopped loving her today |
They placed a wreath upon his door |
Soon they’ll carry him away |
He stopped loving her today |
I said well that does it sir |
Yep I’d like to buy that bird |
Five hundred dollars to take him off your hands |
Well he thought for a while and he said alright |
And he handed me the bird and he said good night |
He counted my money and out the door he ran |
Well I was thinking I’d found the rainbow’s end |
That the money would soon be pouring in |
When suddenly the bird flew out the door and was gone |
Well then it hit me and I got boiling made |
Cause I knew right then I’d been had |
And as he flew off into the night he was singing this song |
On the road again |
I just can’t wait to get on the road again |
Somebody stop that bird |
Well love is making money with my friends |
I can’t wait to get on the road again |
On the road again |
My bird |
I Just can’t wait to get on the road again |
I find love is making money with my friends |
I can’t wait to get on the road again |
Somebody give me a B B gun |
On the road again |
I want that bird |
Just can’t wait to get on the road again |
This is for the birds |
Love is making money with my friends |
