Mockingbird

Intro: Verse 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
