Lyrics

The Bird
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
I’ve turned 29 twice, where have I gotten?
Looks like my life, kinda turned out rotten
Cause I don’t have much, just some stories to tell
(Pre Chorus)
I tried a lot of things to make a dollar
Couldn’t keep a wife kinda failed as a father
But I’ve got The Bird, and she’s all mine
(Chorus)
I can feel the wind on my face when we’re flyin’
Rolling down the road on a warm summers morning
she knows I’m the captain, behind the wheel
when I’m movin’ I can think about things more clearly
miles don’t mean nothing just some road behind me
when I get tired, she let’s me rest for the night
Yea I’ve got my freedom, and every song she’s heard
Life is good, I got The Bird
(Verse 2)
Don’t talk to my kids much, they’re off on their own now
One got married, I heard I’m a grandpa
No I’m not in touch, with all their day-to-day things
(Pre Chorus)
Got songs in my head got an old six string
got this rollin’ old bed where I dream where I sing
Some how I’ve kept it together, without falling apart
(Chorus)
Oh, I can feel the wind on my face when we’re flyin’
Rolling down the road on a warm summers morning
she knows I’m the captain, behind the wheel
when I’m movin’ I can think about things more clearly
miles don’t mean nothing just some road behind me
when I get tired, she let’s me rest for the night
Yea I’ve got my freedom, and every song she’s heard
Life is good, I got The Bird
(Bridge)
I’ve been called a deadbeat loser, and everything in between
But I’ve got the bird, and she loves to hear me sing
(Chorus/outro)
Oh, I can feel the wind on my face when we’re flyin’
Rolling down the road on a warm summers morning
she knows I’m the captain, behind the wheel
when I’m movin’ I can think about things more clearly
miles don’t mean nothing just some road behind me
when I get tired, she let’s me rest for the night
Yea I’ve got my freedom, and every song she’s heard
Life is good, I got The Bird
I thank God I got The Bird
