Got tired of living in that one horse town |
|
I went to the station to flag that |
|
Hummingbird down |
|
I didn't even call to say good-bye |
|
I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry |
|
Now I'm off to the city, gonna make my name |
|
Those lights are calling me to fortune and fame |
|
I had to ride that |
|
Hummingbird |
|
I had to ride that |
|
Hummingbird |
|
I'm gonna make it now just any day |
|
I've got this guitar and |
|
I came to play |
|
Lying here lonely, knowing what |
|
I've lost |
|
My heart keeps asking: |
|
Was it worth the cost ? |
|
Now ain't it funny how it always seems |
|
Once you're standing there the grass ain't so green |
|
Why did I ride that |
|
Hummingbird |
|
I had to ride that |
|
Hummingbird |
|
Oh, today she called me on the telephone |
|
She said: |
|
Hey country boy, you've been gone too long |
|
And now I'm standing at the station, looking down the line |
|
Here comes that |
|
Hummingbird, she's right on time (that's right) |
|
I'm gonna ride |
|
Just let me ride ... |
|
We're gonna ride ... |
|
Just let me ride ... |
