Redbird

CHORUS

   C                                    F                     C

Springtime in the Rockies,  summer in Tennessee, 

  F                     C            G                C

This country is movin' and this movin' is me...

   C                                F                        C

Listen to the redbird,  whistle in a wild oak tree

   F               C                 G                C

Without his true love....it's hard to be so free...

1.  Take a train to Houston,  catch a ride out West,

Fill an old brown suitcase and throw away the rest....

Make it all a memory,  button up your vest

Pull another goodbye scene and say it's for the best....

REPEAT CHORUS

2.  When you get to Portland...there's a girl named June

Livin' down on Barron Street....she's dyin' for a tune

Underneath the pines....starin' at the moon

You become America...don't fall asleep too soon....
