I’D MISS THE BIRDS

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lately, I've been dreaming of a house out in the woods With a big backyard, my dog, and my lover Gave Nashville a chance and made it farther than they thought I would But it doesn't mean I should hang 'round and suffer This world on fire still has good to discover [Chorus] I wouldn't miss the traffic or the runaway trains And the Proud Boys and their women just make me feel out of place Oh, but I'd miss the birds and the music that they make But even they know when to fly away I think it's time to fly [Verse 2] Dusty Silverado, take me to another place This town has a way to leave you wanting For all its brand-new buildings and its hеroes on parade This town still isn't big enough to lovе me And I'm still too damn proud to beg for company [Chorus] I wouldn't miss the traffic or the runaway trains And the Proud Boys and their women just make me feel out of place Oh, but I'd miss the birds and the music that they make But even they know when to fly away I think it's time to fly away [Bridge] I think it's time to make a change (I think it's time to make a change) Spread my wings and drift away (Ooh) I think I finally learned that you can't get back the years But you can always come back to the place [Outro] I wouldn't miss the traffic or the runaway trains And the Proud Boys and their women just make me feel out of place Oh, but I'd miss the birds and the music that they make And the feel of the earth beneath my feet in early May And the magnolia leaves as they fall out of place Even they know when to fly away Oh, I think it's time to fly away
