The Bird Song

Meredith Edwards

2

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 just 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

I better fly away

There's a See Rock City birdhouse

Where I like to hang outbut Johnny Shoots BBs

And Mrs.Cole's got a cement bowl

Where I'd love to take a bath

But the cat might eat me

So I'll just stay up here

At least until the coast is clear

Chorus

Oh Yeah

There's a millions stories that I could tell

But some of them I keep to myself

Just remember whatever you do

Somebody looking over you, yeah

La La La La La La La La La La

Chorus

La La La La La La La La La La
