Thunderbird

lyrics

I never drew a face card
So I threw away all my decks
And I left my letters in the care of good friends
For fear they might grow legs
I'm giving away everything
I'm starting anew
Look after my rings and strings
I'll come back for them soon

And there's a thunderbird in the basement
But the plates expired with you
But that doesn't stop me from driving it
I painted it ocean blue
I'm giving away everything
I'm starting anew
Look after my rings and strings
I'll come back for them soon

I'm a long way from Atlanta
But I remember those magnolia trees
And hiding inside from the Civil War ghosts
Trying to keep their uniforms clean
I'm giving away everything
I'm starting anew
Look after my rings and strings
I'll come back for them soon

And the water of the Mississippi River
Flows strongly through our veins
And my heart is a catfish flopping around
But he's grown rather tame
I'm giving away everything
I'm starting anew
Look after my rings and strings
I'll come back for them soon
