Carrie Newcomer - Birds on a Telephone Wire lyrics
Laura, Lee, Bruce & Me Hangin’ out under that old maple tree On those hot humid afternoons Discussin’ things we’d hear and see On the radio and on NBC Lee ran away and Laura went off to school On the edge of suburbia Where the TV’s on and the lawnmowers are buzzin There’s enough ache in those big steel skies To break your heart but keep your eyes from cryin' Walkin’ down those old dirty halls where the black boys strut and the white boys Try to look taller I was just tryin’ to keep my profile low Don’t get caught with your hand in the cookie jar Don’t you be wishin’ on any old silver star Don’t get caught in the school yard after dark There were sly smiles for the way the pretty girls walk I was lying in bed listening to the radio talkin’ Larry Lujack in the summertime Hummin the tunes when you don’t know all the lines’ Try and you just keep on tryin’ but something inside you is afraid of dyin' There’s something just keeps on achin’ something in your heart keeps on breaking Lying back watching those clouds arrange in those big steel skies you can hardly contain Bruce would learn how to jump through hoops of fire But I’m still sittin her listening to birds on a telephone wire’ I’m still sitting here listening to birds on a telephone wire |
