It was only the whisky talking but it came through
Loud and clear
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Want to send them off the wind
Mrs. Johnson said you won't believe what I know
Want to send them off the wind
Want to send them off the wind
He said I hate you
She slammed the screeen door
Said I don't know what I ever took away with you for
About you
Couldn't put'em back together again
Words fly
Like narrow wind in the open sky
Like sparrow in the summer time
Whether is the truth or the lowdown lie
Words fly
You can't never get them back again
No matter how hard you try
Words fly
Next Sunday social
About the two nextdoors
Stroies spread like wildfire
From the cupcakes to the dickens to the church quire to the courtroom floor
Good news moves slowly bad travels fast
Ain't easy living down rumors like that
Words fly
Like narrow wind in the open sky
Like sparrow in the summer time
Whether is the truth or the lowdown lie
Words fly
You can't never get them back again
No matter how hard you try
Words fly
They can think sheep
They can make dream come true
If we choose'em wisely
No telling what they can do
Words fly
Like narrow wind in the open sky
Like sparrow in the summer time
Whether is the truth or the lowdown lie
Words fly
You can't never get them back again
No matter how hard you try
Words fly
Words fly
