Birdie on the wire, birdie on the wire
Did you see that sunrise set the woods on fire?
Did this new dawn breaking fill you with desire
To fly to different places, birdie on the wire?
Chorus
Birdie on the wire
Birdie on the wire
How I wish that I could be just as free as you
But I'm burdened by my feet itchin' in these shoes
The world is full of sorrow, aint much I can do
I'd leave this town tomorrow if it would cure my blues
Chorus
