Mountain Bird Lyrics

Mountain Bird lyrics

Angel eyes, strike a match

And set this city alight

All of my life I have been pondering

The good done doing right



Won't you be my mountain bird?

Forget all you've seen and heard here

Change your name and cut your hair

Spread your wings across my window

Don't go chasing that green back dollar



There was a time, when I'd sing my songs

With a mouthful of rain

Now I'm a cut price criminal

First goes your heart, there goes the shame



Won't you be my mountain bird?

Forget all you've seen and heard here

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair

Spread your wings across my window

Don't go chasing that green back dollar



Button up boy, toughen up boy, learn to destroy

But when all my tears have run dry

Oh who am I to tell my grief to



Fight, like a dog, with a big ass bone

You'll still be a dog

Kid with a dumbbell ego, shootin' at the neighbors

For a borrowed God



Won't you be my mountain bird?

Forget all you've seen and heard here

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair

Spread your wings across my window

Don't go chasing that green back dollar



The green back dollar

Who am I to tell my grief to?
