Artist/Band: Ricky Skaggs
Lyrics for Song: Hummingbird
Lyrics for Album: Country Gentleman [Epic] [1998]



(Tim Dubois - Greg Jennings)



Got tired of livin' in that one horse town

When to the station flagged that hummingbird down

I didn't even call to say goodbye

I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry.



Now I'm walkin' to the city gonna make my name

Those lights were callin' me to fortune and fame

I had to ride that hummingbird

Just let me ride that hummingbird.



I'm gonna make it now just any day

I've got this guitar and I came to play

Lyin' here lonely knowin' what I lost

My heart keeps asking was it worth the cost.



Now ain't it funny how that always seems

Once you're standing there and the grass ain't so green

Why did I ride that hummingbird

Why did I ride that hummingbird.



Oh, today she called me on the telephone

She said hey, country boy you been gone too long

And now I'm standin' at the station looking down the line

Here comes that hummingbird and she's right on time.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm gonna ride that hummingbird

Just let me ride that hummingbird

I'm gonna ride, just let me ride that hummingbird...
