Where the Birds Dont Sing the Blues Lyrics

Way down in the holler where the goldfinch often sing

That's where we sat down by the creek back in my nineteenth spring

You had said I love you and I echoed back the same

But since we parted I been so low I can only see the rain

The world is burning all around and we watch it on our screens

Say I guess that's just how it be and take a breath of nicotine

Crying at a funeral that you did not attend

I'm losing hope of seeing fortune just beyond the bend

Out in the west where the wildflowers grew

Lord, I'm going where the sun is shining and the birds don't sing the blues

Lord, I'm going where the sun is shining and the birds don't sing the blues

I've been so damn lonesome I could probably cry

I swear that when the loon calls out I can hear a faint goodbye

So point out all the scars that have been left from words we've said

I'm so tired of losing sleep when I lay in my bed

Halfway-written songs and twenty-foot-tall halfpipe dreams

The chaos we pushed deep inside is slipping out through the seams

So I'll make love to my guitar and lie down in my pain

And I'll know it's time to leave this town when I hear that old freight train

Out in the west where the wildflowers grew

Lord, I'm going where the sun is shining and the birds don't sing the blues

Lord, I'm going where the sun is shining and the birds don't sing the blues

Out in the west where the wildflowers grew

Lord, I'm going where the sun is shining and the birds don't sing the blues

Lord, I'm going where the sun is shining and the birds don't sing the blues
