The Bird Song Lyrics - Singles - Meredith Edwards

There's a half dressed mama running through the front yard 

Waving a briefcase a hollerin' 

There's mailman stumbling to his truck 

With a dog on his leg that sure could use a collar and 

I know there's times that you 

Wish you had my point of view 

I can see two skin-kneed boys down at the creek 

Smoking daddy's cigarette butts 

Down there's a man cussing me 

'Cuz he got his car all washed and waxed up 

But I ain't done nothing wrong 

I'm just a bird singing my song 

Looking down on the world below 

Here they come and there they go 

I'm a people watcher it's been a hobby of mine 

For quite some time 

And I might go out on a limb 

Just to get a better look at them 

Oh no, I'm a little too close 

Better fly away 

There's a See Rock City birdhouse 

Where I like to hang out with but Johnny Shoots BBs 

And Mrs. Cole's got a cement bowl 

Where I'd like to take a bath but the cat might eat me 

So I'll just stay up here 

At least until the coast is clear 

Lookin' down at the world below 

Here they come and there they go 

I'm a people watcher it's been a hobby of mine 

For quite some time 

And I might go out on a limb 

Just to get a better look at them 

Oh yeah 

There's a millions stories that I could tell 

Some of them I keep to myself 

Just remember no matter what you do 

Somebody's looking over you, yeah 

Looking down on the world below 

Here they come and there they go 

I'm a people watcher it's been a hobby of mine 

For quite some time 

And I might go out on a limb 

Just to get a better look at them 

Oh no, I'm a little too close 

I better fly away 

Fly away 

Fly away 

Fly away
