If You Were A Bluebird

Joe Ely · Live At Liberty Lunch [2007]

If you were a bluebird,

honey, you'd be a sad one.

I'd give you a true word,

but you you've already had one.

If you were a bluebird,

you'd be cryin, you'd be flyin home



And id you were a rain drop,

you'd shine like a rainbow.

If you were train stop,

the conductor would sing low.

If you were a rain drop,

you'd be fallin, you'd be callin home.



And if you were a hotel,

honey, you'd be a grand one.

But if you hit a slow spell,

do you think you could stand one?

If you were a hotel,

I'd lean on your doorbell.

I'd call you my home.



If I was a highway,

I'd stretch along beside you.

I'd help you pass by a way,

that have disatisfied you.

If I was a highway,

I'd be stretchin, I'd be fetchin you home.
