Bird Songs

Head in the clouds rolling over
Mind like a weed
Here hell on my home
Broken whistle still sounds like something
Then the coal rocks holding me down

Darling oh darling
You lost your mind sleeping in
Out here the sun grows & the stars they show
I wish you could hear the bird songs

What tells of you now & your life on the range
Those dog days squandering trumpets for trains
When I hear them now it all sounds the same
Keep hauling these days with nothing to keep

Darling oh darling
You lost your mind sleeping in
Out here the sun grows & the stars they show
I wish you could hear the bird song

Put the boots down they don't shine
The radio always burns on your favorite song

Darling oh darling
You lost your mind sleeping in
Out here the sun grows and the stars they show
I wish you could hear the bird songs

Darling oh darling
All the joy now when was it spent?
You never saw what the hell was gone
I wish you could hear the bird songs
