VERSE ONE
I MARCH TO MY OWN DRUMMER
AND I ALWAYS HAVE
ALL I’VE KNOWN
SINCE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD
IS THIS SIX-STRING IN MY HANDS
FOLKS SAY I’M A “DIFFERENT KIND OF BIRD”
BUT I’VE KNOWN THAT ALL ALONG
YEAH, I’M A SONGBIRD,
JUST’A SINGIN’ MY SONG”

VERSE TWO
I FLEW SOUTH ONE WINTER
LANDED IN TENNESSEE
‘CAUSE, I HEARD DOWN THERE,
“THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH”
WILL SET YOU FREE.
SO, I’M PERCHED BEHIND THIS FLAT-TOP
WAITIN’ FOR ANOTHER LINE TO COME ALONG,
HEY, I’M A SONGBIRD,
JUST’A SINGIN’ MY SONG

CHORUS
SO, DON’T CLIP MY WINGS
DON’T PUT ME IN A CAGE
LET ME FLY,
JUST SHOW ME TO THE STAGE
CALL ME A DREAMER,
CALL ME A FOOL
RIGHT OR WRONG,
I’M A SONGBIRD,
JUST’A SINGIN’ MY SONG

VERSE THREE
I’M LIKE THAT OL’ YELLOW MEADOWLARK
SITTIN’ ON A CEDAR POST
FLAPPIN’ HIS WINGS,
WHISTLIN’ TO THE WORLD
‘CAUSE, THAT’S ALL HE KNOWS
MAYBE SOMEDAY WHEN I FLY AWAY,
YOU’LL TURN YOUR RADIO ON
AND HERE THIS OL’ SONGBIRD,
STILL'A SINGIN’ HIS SONG

REPEAT CHORUS, END
