Billy Joe Shaver - When The Word Was Thunderbird lyrics

Up every morning at the crack of dawn Nights as short as the days are long Life turned out to be another magazine I'm Livin' with a stranger now Girl i knew got away somehow She went out with two bit gasoline I wanna go,back - you know what i mean ah When the word was Thunderbird And the price was forty twice Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun Now but love turned out to be a pa**in' thing Different bird of a different wing Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine On a jug of Thunderbird wine And Lord i don't know if i'm gonna make it I Don't know if I'll have the strength to take it Everything's hung up in yesterday Married to a civic minded social girl Takin' short cuts in a woman's world She won't let her hair down when I'm home Society's just slavery And security is k**ing me I work hard for it but i give it all away If i could go back to yesterday When the word was Thunderbird And the price was forty twice Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun Now but love turned out to be a pa**in' thing Different bird of a different wing Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine On a jug of Thunderbird wine And Lord i don't know if i'm gonna make it I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it Everything's hung up in yesterday When the word was Thunderbird And the price was forty twice Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
