lyrics

This morning on my front porch swing
I heard redbirds sing
If those birds sing, oh, why can’t I?
Then they up and they flew away
That’s what I’m gonna do today
I’m gonna put a new change in my life

Awhile ago I heard a train whistle blow
It made me wanna go
Never, never, never, never come back again
Oh, take me far away
To that better day
I won’t be back ‘til love lets me in

I’m tired of livin’ on the losin’ end
I’m stepping out into the wind
I got a little money jingle-janglin’
I want to sing and dance a while
And I want to smile
I won’t be back ‘til love lets me in

I’m tired of livin’ on the losin’ end
I’m stepping out into the wind
I got a little money jingle-janglin’
I want to sing and dance a while
And I want to smile
I won’t be back ‘til love lets me in
I’m tired of livin’ on the losin’ end

His best known song - “Sweet Dreams" - is considered a cornerstone of the genre. ... more
