Cardinal Song

Cardinal Song

There's times I think about my old life

See the world from those eyes, and what I've come to find

I'm just a traveler on the wrong side of the road

And where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

And my old ways, things I've come to know

They left me on my own, they hung me out to dry

I'm just a stranger in a land I can't call home

And where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

Well I know that road you drive ain't only but a highway

You may find your way I'm told, but you'll never know just what you left behind babe

I went wayward chasing Dixie, now I'm searching for my soul

And where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

In that silence, hear the dogwoods crying

Darling have you tried writing songs to dry your eyes

I'm playing music to a crowd that never shows

And where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

And this fast pace has got me in a bad way

The city lights don't last, they just burn it out all night

I'm in a starlit sky but I can't seem to glow

And where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

Well I know that road you're on gets lonelier with time babe

You may find your weight in gold, hell that alone ain't gonna get you by babe

I miss when life was made for living or something like it I suppose

And where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

Well I'm miles away for now and darling how I need you so

Where them Carolina red birds fly, I'll go

Where them Carolina red birds fly, I'm home
