Dengue Fever - Hummingbird lyrics

Got tired of livin' in that one horse town When to that station flagged that hummingbird down I didn't even call to say goodbye I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry And now I'm off to the city gonna make my name Those lights were callin' me to fortune and fameI had to ride that hummingbird Just let me ride that hummingbirdI'm gonna make it now just any day I've got my guitar and I came to play Lyin' here lonely knowin' what I lost My heart keeps asking was it worth the cost And now, ain't it funny how that always seems Once you're standing there, the gra** ain't so greenI had to ride that hummingbird Why did I ride that hummingbirdOh today she called me on the telephone She said, "Hey country boy, you been gone too long" And now I'm standin' at the station looking down the line Here comes that hummingbird, she's right on timeI'm gonna ride that hummingbird Just let me ride that hummingbird I'm gonna ride, just let me ride that hummingbird
