Lyrics
BLACK BIRDS ARE BLACK
I've tried leaving me a time or two
Hauled my ass down back roads
To the far side of town
Told myself a few times I was through
Then some cold and rainy morning
I'd show back up run down
Black birds are black wherever they go
Some doves are gray others white as snow
Can't outrun your own damn self, this I know
Black birds are black wherever they go
Only so far to run, heading west
Before I'd change direction
And head south to Mexico
Border towns put me to the test
How far will I take it
The only road I know
Black birds are black wherever they go
Some doves are gray others white as snow
Can't outrun your own damn self, this I know
Black birds are black wherever they go
Freedom ain't around the bend, that's plain to see
The grass ain't any greener than what's under my feet
Black birds are black wherever they go
Some doves are gray others white as snow
Can't outrun your own damn self, this I know
Black birds are black wherever they go
