I ain?t nothing but a mockingbird
Singing all these songs I?ve heard
It?s why I learned to play guitar
It?s why I?m singing in this bar
Why I?m singing in this bar
Well my grandpa worked for Westinghouse
Until the day his health went south
He used to let me sip from a 12 ounce can
And he taught me how to be a man
Taught me how to be a man
And now it?s four on the floor another dollar in the jukebox
One more round for my good-timing friends
Its last call for alcohol, an empty glass is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him
Verse
In my Levi jeans and snakeskin boots
I dress like 1982
But these are all just hand-me-downs
Of things he bought in one horse towns
Things he bought in one horse towns
And my daddy was his father?s son
He loved drinking beer and having fun
He passed it all down to me
Along with his old faded jeans
Along with his old faded jeans
And now it?s four on the floor another dollar in the jukebox
One more round for my good timing friends
It?s last call for alcohol, an empty glass is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him
Verse
Cuz I ain?t nothing but a mockingbird
Singing all these songs I?ve heard
It?s why I leanred to play guitar
It?s why I?m drinking in this bar
Why I?m drinking in this bar
