Mountain Bird - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Angel eyes, strike a match and set this city alight

All of my life I have been pondering the good done

Doing right

Won't you be my mountain bird?

Forget all you've seen and heard here

Change your name and cut your hair

Spread your wings across my window

Don't go chasing that green back dollar

There was a time, when I'd sing my songs with a

Mouthful of rain

Now I'm a cut price criminal

First goes your heart, there goes the shame

Won't you be my mountain bird?

Forget all you've seen and heard here

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair

Spread your wings across my window

Don't go chasing that green back dollar

Button up boy, toughen up boy, learn to destroy

But when all my tears have run dry

Oh who am I to tell my grief to

Fight, like a dog, with a big ass bone you'll still be

A dog

Kid with a dumbbell ego, shootin' at the neighbours

For a borrowed God

Won't you be my mountain bird?

Forget all you've seen and heard here

Change your name, change your name and cut your hair

Spread your wings across my window

Don't go chasing that green back dollar

The green back dollar

Who am I to tell my grief to?
