High Flying Bird

Billy Edd Wheeler

[Verse 1]
There's a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky now
Yes, and I wonder if she looks down
As she flies on by
Well, she's ridin' on the air so easy in the sky

[Chorus]
Lord, look at me, yeah
I'm rooted like a tree here (Yes I am now)
I got the sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues

[Verse 2]
Oh, when I used to love a man
He worked in a mine, Lord
Oh well, he never saw the sun
But he never stopped tryin'
Ooh, well then one day my man, he up and died

[Chorus]
My man up and died, Lord
My man up and died, Lord (Yes he did now)
Oh well, he wanted to fly
And the only way to fly was to die

[Verse 1]
There's a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky now
Yes, and I wonder if she looks down
As she flies on by
Well, she's ridin' on the air so easy in the sky

[Chorus]
Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here (Yes I am now)
I got the sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm gonna die now
I got the sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Yes I do, yes I do
