Mockingbird

I ain't nothing but a mockingbird,
Singing all these songs I've heard.
It's why I learned to play guitar,
And why I'm singing in this bar.
Why I'm singing in this bar.
Well, my grandpa worked for Westinghouse,
Until the day his health went south.
He used to let me sip from a 12 ounce can,
And he taught me how to be a man.
Taught me how to be a man.
And now it's four-on-the-floor
another dollar in the jukebox
And one more round for my good timin' friends.
It's last call for alcohol and 'Empty Glass' is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him.
In my Levi jeans and snakeskin boots,
I'm dressed like 1982.
But these are all just hand me downs,
Things he bought in one horse towns.
Things he bought in one horse towns.
And my daddy was his father's son,
He loved drinking beer and having fun.
He passed it all on down to me,
Along with his old faded jeans.
Along with his old faded jeans.
And now it's four-on-the-floor
Another dollar in the jukebox
And one more round for my good timin' friends.
It's last call for alcohol and 'Empty Glass' is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him.
And now it's four-on-the-floor
Another dollar in the jukebox
And one more round for my good timin' friends.
It's last call for alcohol and 'Empty Glass' is playing
And I turned out to be a lot like him.
Cos I ain't nothing but a mockingbird,
Singing all these songs I've heard.
It's why I learned to play guitar,
And why I'm drinking in this bar.
Why I'm drinking in this bar.
