WELL MY THROAT
WAS DRY
AND IT WAS
A' GETTIN' LATE
I WAS AT THIS BAR
ON AN INTERSTATE
WHEN A GUY WITH
THIS BIRD ON
HIS SHOULDER WALKED
THROUGH THE DOOR
YEAH
HE PROCEEDED
TO TELL ME
THE WILDEST THING
HE SAID SIR
THIS BIRD OF MINE
CAN SING
LIKE NO OTHER BIRD
YOU HAVE EVER
HEARD BEFORE
WELL I KINDA LOOKED
AT THE GUY AND
SAID OH REALLY
HE TURNED TO
THE BIRD AND SAID
DO OL' WILLIE
WHEN THE BIRD STARTED
SINGIN'
I ALMOST FELL
IN THE FLOOR
WHISKEY RIVER
TAKE MY MIND
DON'T LET HER
MEMORY
TORTURE ME
WHISKEY RIVER
DON'T RUN DRY
YOU'RE ALL I GOT
TO TAKE CARE OF ME
HEH
WELL IF THAT AIN'T
THE DURNDEST THING
WELL I THOUGHT SON
WHAT A HECK OF A THING
A MAN COULD GET RICH
MAKIN' THAT BIRD SING
AND I COULD FEEL
THIS WILD IDEA COMIN'
ON STRONG
AND BESIDES
I'M SITTIN' HERE
WITH TWO WEEKS PAY
AND I'D PROBABLY
BLOW IT
ON BEER ANYWAY
THEN HE SAID
HEY WAIT 'TIL
YOU HEAR HIM SING
LIKE GEORGE JONES
HE STOPPED
LOVING HER TODAY
THEY PLACED A WREATH
UPON HIS DOOR
SOON
THEY'LL CARRY HIM
AWAY
HE STOPPED
LOVING HER TODAY
4 BAR
BREAK
I SAID WELL
THAT DOES IT SIR
YEP I'D LIKE TO
BUY THAT BIRD
WOULD 'A FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS TAKE HIM
OFF YOUR HANDS HUH
WELL HE THOUGHT
FOR A WHILE
AND HE SAID ALRIGHT
HE HANDED ME
THE BIRD AND HE
SAID GOODNIGHT
HE COUNTED MY MONEY
AND OUT THE
DOOR HE RAN
WELL I WAS THINKIN'
I'D FOUND THE
RAINBOW'S END
THAT THE MONEY
WOULD SOON BE
POURIN' IN
WHEN SUDDENLY
THE BIRD JUST FLEW
OUT THE DOOR
AND WAS GONE
WELL THEN IT HIT ME
AND I GOT BOILIN' MAD
'CAUSE I KNEW
RIGHT THEN
THAT I'D BEEN HAD
AND AS HE FLEW
OFF INTO THE NIGHT
HE WAS SINGIN'
THIS SONG
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
I JUST CAN'T WAIT
TO GET ON
THE ROAD AGAIN
SOMEBODY
STOP THAT BIRD
THE LIFE I LOVE
IS MAKIN' MONEY
WITH MY FRIENDS
I CAN'T WAIT
TO GET ON THE ROAD
AGAIN
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
MY BIRD
I JUST CAN'T WAIT
TO GET ON
THE ROAD AGAIN
MY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS
THE LIFE I LOVE
IS MAKIN' MONEY
WITH MY FRIENDS

TO GET ON THE ROAD
