BIRD ON A WING
If you buy her a dream, she'll follow you anywhere
To any old truck stop that this world might bring
She's a heart held down by this little town
She's looking to find a bird on a wing
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She makes a small hole in the frost on the window
She's looking out past old familiar things
She lets her mind slip from the small change and napkins
Her heart's looking up for a bird on a wing
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She stacks up the cups and counts out the few tips
But she's humming a tune that a drifter might sing
She gets to thinking that she's tired of waiting
Maybe she'll be her own bird on a wing
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She's waiting for you to fly by
