When the Word Was Thunderbird
Up every morning at the crack of dawn
Nights as short as the days are long
Life turned out to be another magazine
I'm livin' with a stranger now
The girl I knew got away somehow
She went out with two bit gasoline
I wanna go back, you know what I mean, ah
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was 40 twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Oh but love turned out to be a passin' thing
Different bird of a different wing
Some damn fool put a dollar 29 on a jug of Thunderbird wine
And Lord, I don't know if I'm gonna make it
I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it
Everything's hung up in yesterday
Married to a civic-minded social girl
Takin' shortcuts in a woman's world
She won't let her hair down when I'm home
Society is just slavery and security is killing me
I worked hard for it, but I give it all away
If I could go back to yesterday, ah
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was 40 twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Oh but love turned out to be a passin' thing
Different bird of a different wing
Some damn fool put a dollar 29 on a jug of Thunderbird wine
And Lord, I don't know if I'm gonna make it
I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it
Everything's hung up in yesterday
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was forty twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Nights as short as the days are long
Life turned out to be another magazine
I'm livin' with a stranger now
The girl I knew got away somehow
She went out with two bit gasoline
I wanna go back, you know what I mean, ah
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was 40 twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Oh but love turned out to be a passin' thing
Different bird of a different wing
Some damn fool put a dollar 29 on a jug of Thunderbird wine
And Lord, I don't know if I'm gonna make it
I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it
Everything's hung up in yesterday
Married to a civic-minded social girl
Takin' shortcuts in a woman's world
She won't let her hair down when I'm home
Society is just slavery and security is killing me
I worked hard for it, but I give it all away
If I could go back to yesterday, ah
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was 40 twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Oh but love turned out to be a passin' thing
Different bird of a different wing
Some damn fool put a dollar 29 on a jug of Thunderbird wine
And Lord, I don't know if I'm gonna make it
I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it
Everything's hung up in yesterday
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was forty twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
