about

Second track on the "It's Broken" EP

lyrics

Little birdie, why do you fly in the trees?
Little birdie, why do you die in the leaves?
There's a train that escapes this dusty town.
The only problem is the tracks go round and round.

It might be a little lonesome
in your hometown
somewhere, southeastern Tennessee.
But, I caught a north wind
somewhere in Austin, and
it put a chilling spell on me.

So, it might be a little cold
in Colorado or wherever it is
you feel the need to go.
But, I'm stuck neck deep
in a heap of loneliness and trouble
because Oklahoma got all of the snow.

Little spider, why build your webs
into the trees?
Little spider, why crawl around
underneath the leaves?

I took a step outside tonight
just to catch my breath from the dark.
I tried to recollect my head
after I read your remarks.
I tried to drown myself in the river
but the water was too low.
I bought a Cadillac instead and
I hit the road.
