This Bird's Gonna Fly

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
