Lyrics

HUMMINGBIRD

(Tim Dubois - Greg Jennings)

â Â© '89 House Of Gold Music Â

Got tired of livin' in that one horse town

When to the station flagged that hummingbird down

I didn't even call to say goodbye

I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry

Now I'm walkin' to the city gonna make my name

Those lights were callin' me to fortune and fame

I had to ride that hummingbird just let me ride that hummingbird

I'm gonna make it now just any day

I've got this guitar and I came to play

Lyin' here lonely knowin' what I lost

My heart keeps asking was it worth the cost

Now ain't it funny how that always seems

Once you're standing there and the grass ain't so green

Why did I ride that hummingbird why did I ride that hummingbird

Oh today she called me on the telephone

She said hey country boy you been gone too long

And now I'm standin' at the station looking down the line

Here comes that hummingbird and she's right on time

I'm gonna ride that hummingbird just let me ride that hummingbird

I'm gonna ride just let me ride that hummingbird
