Asked the bird in the tree, "What is it that you for?" Now knowing (Why the Bird Sings) is wishing to be free Reminded of life and it's hold on me Touring, the children, women, resistance means so much to me, the church don't see enough of me This way, that way, corners trying to get away Sometimes you have to see a to appreciate a pretty day BACK in the car now, for the liquor store God, what a vivid scene, digging what I seen Rolled up another one, still in a daze Gassed up at the Mini-Mart, my mind on the roads
