Tedeschi Trucks Band - Bird On The Wire (LIve) lyrics

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, like a knight from some old-fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue, I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, stillborn, like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song and I swear by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch. Now, he said to me "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, She cried to me, "Why not ask for more?" Like a bird on the wire and like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my own way to be free. Oh I tried, oh I tried, oh I tried, oh I tried. Oh I tried, oh I tried, oh I tried, oh I tried. Oh I tried in my own way to be free.
