Out my window every day I see
Pretty little bird in a great big hanging tree
Dancing free
Not like me

Well I used to know someone just like you
Pretty little thing who would dance across a room
All in blue
just like you

but I won’t feel lonely

pretty little bird won’t you fly yourself away from here
there’s a big blue sky and a lullaby to dry all my tears

she was ten years old and how that child could sing
but her daddy when he’s drinking gets real mean
he got awful mean
and that gun fired clean

But I don’t feel lonely

pretty little bird won’t you fly yourself away from here
there’s a big blue sky and a lullaby to dry my tears
pretty little bird won’t you find a place the sun still shines
you could sing it strong, your pretty little song and fly fly fly

(instr. Break)

I ain’t sorry for a single thing I done
Put a man in the ground and I told that girl, run run

pretty little bird won’t you fly yourself away from here
there’s a big blue sky and a lullaby to dry my tears
pretty little bird won’t you find a place the sun still shines
you could sing it strong, your pretty little song and fly fly fly

pretty little bird won’t you find a place the sun still shines
you could sing it strong, your pretty little song and fly fly fly
