lyrics

The first time I saw you
You were on your couch and you were leanin’ back
Maybe late for a plane or late for a train
Or maybe a heart attack

You had a wild streak in your eyes
Man, I loved your guts
I knew I’d follow you anywhere
No ifs ands or buts

And the second time that I saw you
I wanted you so bad
But I had to get permission from your mother
And go upstairs and ask your dad

And he had a shotgun sittin’ there
Right between his legs
He said go out and get me some whisky
Some weed and a dozen eggs

Let’s stay together
Like birds of a feather

Well, when I went back to your house again
I gave it a real good inspection
And I must admit I fell in love
With your record collection

There wasn’t one dud no
Nothin’ you could waste
I gotta tell you babe
You got spectacular taste

It was Christmas time we were walkin’ slow
And the snow was startin’ to fall
Went back inside under the mistletoe
And I kissed you in the hall

And the choirs of angels were singing their songs
A little bit outta tune
So we put on some Wood Brothers
And slow danced to the light of the moon

Let’s stay together
Like birds of a feather

Well we might find work washing dishes at a local bar
Then I’ll save up some money
And buy us a brand new used car
Then we’ll get us a house
On an organic farm
And I’ll get your name tattooed right here
In the middle of my arm

Well we might run outta cash
And join a crew just a digging a ditch
But I got a guitar in my hands
And my fingers are starting to twitch

It can be hard being a singer
Finding decent place to play
Well there’s bodies littered along the side
Of the Folk highway

Let’s stay together
Like birds of a feather
Baby we’re tethered
Let’s stay together

You can treat this life just like
It’s an old board game
The kind you keep in the closet you bring out
When it starts to rain

Dust it off learn to smile
Maybe roll the dice
Try to be patient try to be kind
It ain’t that hard to be nice

Let’s stay together
Like birds of a feather
Baby we’re tethered
Let’s stay together
