lyrics

Little birdy, why do you fly
into the tree, into the tree?
Little birdy, tell me, how is it you die
underneath the leaves, underneath the leaves?

When I was a yougun,
I could not be shackled down
the irony was all the detours
only took me 'round and 'round
I heard it might be lonely
down there in the hometown
on the map so far from me,
hey, life is good from how it sounds
And, I caught an old north wind
down in Austin
it was a double shot reality

Hey, it might be cold in Colorado
or wherever it is you decide to go
As for me, I'm caught neck deep
in a heap of something else
because Oklahoma got all the snow

Little spider, why build your web
into the trees, into the trees?
Little spider, why crawl around down there
to bite me on the legs underneath the leaves,
underneath the leaves?

Well, I took a step outside tonight
to catch my breath from the dark
I tried to recollect my head after
I read all your remarks
I wanna go down to the river
but the water is too low
I bought a Chevrolet instead
and now I carry all the load
that's when I caught an old
north wind down in Austin
it was a double shot of reality.

Hey, it might be cold in Colorado
or wherever it is you decide to go
As for me, I'm caught neck deep
in a heap of something else
because Oklahoma got all the snow
