A good song dont care who sings it
I dont know about that but Hank jr is
my favorite philosopher(sp)
with that said
few wds fm Hank jr
It takes Liquor to like her
If heaven aint a lot like Dixie I dont wanta go

THE BIRD
Writers Hal Coleman, Barry Etrics
Well my throat was dry and I was getting=E2=80=99 late
And I was at this bat on the interstate
When this guy with a bird on his shoulder walked in the door
And he proceeded to tell me the strangest thing
He said, =E2=80=9CSir this bird of mine can sing like no other bird
You=E2=80=99ve never heard before!=E2=80=9D
Well I just looked at the guy and said =E2=80=9COh really?=E2=80=9D
And he turned to the bird and said=E2=80=9DDo ole Willie=E2=80=9D
When that bird started singing I almost hit the floor.
Whiskey River take my mind
Don=E2=80=99t let her memory torture me
Whiskey River don=E2=80=99t run dry
You=E2=80=99re all I got to take care of me
Well if that ain't the durndest thing
I thought, son, what a heck of a thing
A man could get rich making that bird sing
And I could feel this wild idear comin' on strong
I said, =E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m just sittin=E2=80=99 here with two weeks
pay
And I=E2=80=99d probably blow it all anyway
I=E2=80=99ll buy that bird If he=E2=80=99ll do one more song.=E2=80=9D
Maybe I didn=E2=80=99t hold you quite as often as I should have
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
I said, =E2=80=9Cwell that does it sir, yep
I=E2=80=99d like to buy that bird
Would $500.00 take him off your hands?=E2=80=9D
Well, he thought for a while and he said, =E2=80=9Calright=E2=80=9D
He handed me the bird and he said =E2=80=9Cgoodnight=E2=80=9D
Counted the money and out the door he ran
I was thinkin=E2=80=99 I=E2=80=99d found the rainbow=E2=80=99s end
My ship would soon be rolling in
When that bird sailed out the door
And he was gone
And as I watched him leave I got boilin=E2=80=99 mad
=E2=80=98Cause I knew right then that I=E2=80=99d been had
And as he faded in the night he was singing this song
On the road again
I just can=E2=80=99t wait to get on the road again (Somebody stop that
bird!)
The life I love is making money with my friend
And I can=E2=80=99t wait to get on the road again
