Well mGy throat was dry and it was gettin' late
CI was at this bar on the interstate
DWhen a guy with this bird on his shoulder
Walked through the dGoor
GHe proceeded to tell me the wildest thing
CHe said, "Sir, this bird of mine can sing
DLike no other bird you have ever heard bGefore"
GWell I kinda looked at the guy and said "Oh really?"
CHe turned to the bird and said "Do ole Willie"
DWhen the bird started singing I almost fell on the Gfloor
GWhiskey River take my mCind
Don't let her memory torture Gme
Whiskey River don't run Ddry
You're all I've got take care of Gme
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 beer coming 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'll you hear him sing like George Jones"
He stopped loving hGer today
They placed a wreath uponC his door
And soon they'll carry hiDm away
He stopped loving herG today
I said "Well that does it sir
Yep, I'd like to buy that bird,
Would $500 take him off your hands?"
Well he thought for a while and he said "Alright"
And handed me the bird and 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 pouring in
When suddenly the bird flew out the door and was gone
Well then it hit me, I got boiling mad
I knew right then that I'd been had
And as he flew out into the night
He was singing this song
EOn the road again
Just can't wait to get on theG road again
The life I love is making F#mmoney with my friend
And AI can't wait to get Bon the road aEgain
EOn the road again
Just can't wait to get on theG road again
The life I love is making F#mmoney with my friend
And AI can't wait to get Bon the road aEgain
Somebody stop that bird
My bird
My $500
Somebody get me a BB Gun
I Want that bird
This is for the birds
