A Bird Does Not Sing

A bird does not sing because it has an answer

It sings because it has a song

We started out in New York City To end the run in Tennessee

When the van broke down in North Carolina

The finish was no guarantee

So we drove all night

And slept all day

Don’t ask us why

Just hear us play

A bird does not sing because it has an answer

It sings because it has a song

Can’t help herself, she was born to be a dancer

Takes one step and everybody’s groovin’ along

It don’t take long to empty out our pockets

Right before we hit the stage

And she’s there dancing in the corner

Working out frustration and rage

So we play all night

We’ll just sleep all day

Please don’t ask us why

Just come hear us play

A bird does not sing because it has an answer

It sings because it has a song

Can’t help herself, she was born to be a dancer

Takes one step and everybody’s groovin’ along
