Sittin' in the morning sun
|
And watching all the birds passing by
|
Oh how sweet they sing
|
And oh how much I wish that I could fly
|
And I try
|
I said I try
|
I try
|
I really try try try
|
But I got to
|
Pick myself up
|
Dust myself off
|
Start all over, again (CHORUS 2x)
|
Sittin' in the midday sun
|
And wondering where my meal's coming from
|
After working so hard
|
Not even piece of bread at the yard
|
And I said I try
|
Oh Lord I try
|
I try
|
I really try try try
|
Sittin' in the evening sun
|
And watching the same birds passing by
|
Sittin' and wondering
|
And waiting for the time for me to fly
|
And I try
|
I said I try
|
Good Lord I try
|
I really try try try
|
So long and I just find
|
It was just a waste of time
|
So long and I just find
|
I been been wasting all my time
|
I've got to pick myself up...
