Songbird

Fly away
Fly away

I pulled my roots straight out of the ground
Pruned by the soil I once called home
I cried a big cry, “Not I” said the bonsai
There’s a new house that must be found

One, two, three, four

I know you don’t understand, I don’t expect you to
Can’t give my days to this town ‘til I’m seventy-two
To leave things sour was never my intent
But in time it all makes sense

I’m gonna fly away
Songbird
Fly away
That’s what I’mma do

Fly away
Fly away

One, two, three, four, five

Where’s this tunnel vision leading me to
Puttin’ all my faith into the blues
It’s a lonely road, darling
And it’s one I’m willing to ride all night long

Songbird
I’m gonna fly away
Fly away
Don’t clip my wings

Thank you, thank you for showing me how big I am
That was the last time I saw him
Boy, I made him look good
Didn’t even look me in the eye as I said goodbye
Now as I wonder along this journey
I know this is the path towards my dream
