Jailbird Lyrics by Waylon

Seeds

2016

I'm fooling around
Ain't no chance of taking me down
I'm leaving cryin' town, babe
Gone like the wind, babe

I finally see
All the scars from fallin' down on my knees
You think helpless me, but all that I can really feel
Is anything but heartbreak

I guess all the songs
We sang so loud never really meant a thing
Not a thing
And I guess all along the only common thing we had is swing

So babe, I'm flyin' out that door
Ain't your jailbird no more

This bird has flown
I guess you'll try to replace me with a con
So incredible you think you stood so low
Is like a new face

So there's no flying blind, no
No world of hurt or miracles to find
This great escape can't waste no more precious time
Storm came and went, babe

I guess all the songs
We sang so loud never really meant a thing
Not a thing
And I guess all along the only common thing we had is swing

So babe, I'm flyin' out that door
Ain't your jailbird no more

I guess all the songs
We sang so loud never really meant a thing
Not a thing
And I guess all along the only common thing we had is wings
This crazy things

So babe, I'm flyin' out that door
Ain't your jailbird no more

I'm fooling around
Ain't no chance of taking me down
I'm leaving cryin' town, babe
Gone like the wind now
