Lyrics:
Well my throat was dry and It was getting' late And I was at this bar on the interstate When this guy with a bird on his shoulder walked in the door And he proceeded to tell me the wildest thing He said, Sir this bird of mine can sing like no other bird You've never heard before. Well I just looked at the guy and said Oh really? He turned to the bird and said ќDo old Willie When that bird started singing I almost fell on the floor. Whiskey River take my mind Don't let her memory torture me Whiskey River don't run dry You're all I got to take care of me Well if that ain't the durndest thing I thought, son, what a heck of a thing A man could get rich making that bird sing And I could feel this wild idea comin' on strong I'm just sittin' here with two weeks pay And I'd probably blow it on beer anyway When he said wait'll you hear him sing like George Jones! He stopped loving her today, and he placed a wreath upon his door, soon they'll carry him away, he stopped loving her today I said, well that does it sir, yep I'd like to buy that bird Would $500.00 take him off your hands? Hmmm?ќ Well, he thought for a while and he said, alright He handed me the bird and he said goodnightќ Counted the money and out the door he ran I was thinkin' I'd found the rainbow's end The money would soon be rolling in When that bird sailed out the door And was gone And as I watched him fly into the night I got boilin' mad Cause I knew right then and there that I'd been had And as he faded in the night he was singing this song On the road again I just can't wait to get on the road again (Somebody stop that bird! ) The life I love is making money with my friend And I can't wait to get on the road again
