This Bird's Gonna Fly

And so we've come a long way

Too, too long baby, I've got to say

And even though we had some fun

I'm tellin' you honey, I've got to run



Well it seems you had your time

Takin' everything from me you could find

But now the table's turned

And this old heart you'll never burn

But this bird's got to fly, bird's got to fly

I'm tellin' you honey, this bird's got to fly, so long

Got to be on my way



You always seemed so clever

With your little books that you read forever

Always a-keepin' me down, but now I'm gonna come back around

A-tears a-burnin' me, a-pain a-burnin' me, can't you see?



And I'm tired of wasting precious time

To you my life ain't worth a single dime

But this bird's got to fly, bird's got to fly

I'm tellin' you honey, this bird's got to fly, so long

Got to be on my way



And so we've come a long way

Too, too long baby, I've got to say

I'm tired of wastin' precious time

Cause to you my life ain't worth a single dime

So this bird's got to fly, bird's got to fly

I'm tellin' you honey, this bird's got to fly, so long

Got to be on my way

So so long

Got to be on my way

Ya, so long baby
