Once in a time
|
Where the girls feel like girls
|
And the world is painted
|
Cotton candy
|
Where the sweet lemonade
|
Of mcgregor street
|
Was the best the damn thing of the summer breeze
|
Your dad drives a foreign car
|
And your mama looks like a beauty queen
|
Now the sour bitter days
|
Of a colorless place
|
Seems to light up my nights somehow
|
And the music i play must be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud as can be
|
So i dont have to hear myself think
|
So i dont have to wake up from this dream
|
I dont wanna sing no single mama blues
|
Im not singin look at me i've been abused
|
O im honestly lost girl starin at you
|
So maybe ill put on my high heel shoes
|
And soar the night away
|
And soar the night away
|
But whatever i do
|
|
Im not gonna slow this bird down
|
I don't wanna look life in the eye
|
I'm not gonna fall face first in the spiral called a life
|
Im not in denial
|
Im not suicidal
|
Not an alcoholic
|
Im not out here whoring
|
So just shut the f**k up
|
This birds not slowing down
|
Once in a while
|
When the sun does its job
|
Lets the clouds take a nice day off
|
I can breeze through the day
|
|
And just run through night
|
Here injisted of those big blue eyes
|
Is this is life might run
|
On the evening of fourth july
|
So i got reason to fly
|
|
Im not gonna slow this bird down
|
I don't wanna look life in the eye
|
I don't wanna fall face first in the spiral called a life
|
Im not in denial
|
Im not suicidal
|
Not an alcoholic
|
Im not out here whoring
|
So just shut the f**k up
|
This birds not slowing down
|
|
Slowing dowwwwnnn
|
Slowing downnnnn
|
Slowing dowwwnnnn
|
|
Its not over yet
|
The song isnt over yet
|
Aint no birds
|
Gonna slow me down
|
Imma keep on rollin
|
And aint no birds gonna slow me down
|
Keep on rollin
|
And aint no birds
|
Gonna slow me down
|
Imma keep on rollin
|
And aint no birds gonna slow me down
|
