Born a poor young country boy, mother nature's son
All day long I'm sittin' singin' songs for everyone

Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise
Listen to the sound of pretty music as it pines

Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life, you were only waitin' for this moment to be free

Find me in a field of grass, mother nature's son
Swaying, dazing, sing a lazy song beneath the sun

Swaying, dazing, sing a lazy song beneath the sun
