Mockingbird

(альбом: Mockingbird - 2015)

Well I ain't nothin but a mockingbird
Singing all these sings I've heard
It's why I learned to play guitar
Why I'm singing in this bar
Why I'm singing in this bar

Well my grandpa worked for Westinghouse
Until the day his health went south
He used to let me sip from a twelve-ounce can
And he taught me how to be a man
Taught me how to be a man

And now it's four on the floor
Another dollar in the jukebox
And one more round for my good-timing friends
It's last call for alcohol
And "Empty Glass" is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him

In my Levi jeans and snakeskin boots
I'm dressed like 1982
These are all just hand me downs
Things he bought in one-horse towns
Things he bought in one-horse towns

And my daddy was his father's son
He loved drinking beer and having fun
He passed it all on down to me
Along with his old faded jeans
Along with his old faded jeans

And now it's four on the floor
Another dollar in the jukebox
And one more round for my good-timing friends
It's last call for alcohol
And "Empty Glass" is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him

And now it's four on the floor
Another dollar in the jukebox
And one more round for my good-timing friends
It's last call for alcohol
And "Empty Glass" is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him

'Cause I ain't nothin but a mockingbird
Singing all these songs I've heard
It's why I learned to play guitar
And why I'm drinking in this bar
Why I'm drinking in this bar
