| And so we’ve come a long way
|
| Too, too long baby, I’ve got to say
|
| And even though we had some fun
|
| I’m tellin' you honey, I’ve got to run
|
| Well it seems you had your time
|
| Takin' everything from me you could find
|
| But now the table’s turned
|
| And this old heart you’ll never burn
|
| But this bird’s got to fly, bird’s got to fly
|
| I’m tellin' you honey, this bird’s got to fly, so long
|
| Got to be on my way
|
| You always seemed so clever
|
| With your little books that you read forever
|
| Always a-keepin' me down, but now I’m gonna come back around
|
| A-tears a-burnin' me, a-pain a-burnin' me, can’t you see?
|
| And I’m tired of wasting precious time
|
| To you my life ain’t worth a single dime
|
| But this bird’s got to fly, bird’s got to fly
|
| I’m tellin' you honey, this bird’s got to fly, so long
|
| Got to be on my way
|
| And so we’ve come a long way
|
| Too, too long baby, I’ve got to say
|
| I’m tired of wastin' precious time
|
| 'Cause to you my life ain’t worth a single dime
|
| So this bird’s got to fly, bird’s got to fly
|
| I’m tellin' you honey, this bird’s got to fly, so long
|
| Got to be on my way
|
| So so long
|
| Got to be on my way
|
| Ya, so long baby |
