Timothy Brown - Bluebird

I've been going down that long lonesome road, man
And I've been doing it for a while
I've been going down that long lonesome road, man
Looking for a special smile

Now I work the bars, New York to Frisco
I could never make it pay
You know how money goes, it slips right through your fingers
One more dollar, one more day

The bluebird he has no money
The bluebird he has no kin
The bluebird he wears no time-clock
He answers to the wind

I've been going down that same old road, babe
Like the world I'm adding on some years
I've shoved a hundred million quarters in the jukebox
I've served a barrel full of beers

Now I've listened to some troubles in my lifetime
I've seen a lot of grown men cry
You know that old tune called "Over the Rainbow?"
Well, if the bluebird flies, then why can't I?

The bluebird he has no money
The bluebird he has no kin
The bluebird he wears no time-clock
He answers to the wind

I've always lived my life like there ain't no tomorrow
Yes I always have and always will
Behind me all my yesterdays go stretching out like boxcars
Disappearing round some hill

Now, I always thought that life was for living
But nothing is as easy as it seems
Well, I wished I was a bluebird flying
I guess I'm always trying to find a rainbow in my dreams

The bluebird he has no money
The bluebird he has no kin
The bluebird wears no time-clock
He answers to the wind
