[Verse 1]
I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that
You finally got rid of that girlfriend
You finally came out of that love coma, boy
I heard Mary Jane at the Powder Puff Beauty Shop
Sayin' that blonde in her tube top
She left our Jimmy for a boy in Illinois
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone give me an amen
Someone give me an amen
[Chorus]
Can I get a thank God, hallelujah?
You finally saw what she was doing to ya
Your mama called it, she was right
Glad to see you saw the light
Whole town, yeah, we whooped and hollered
She drove away, nobody stopped her
Na-na, na-na-na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen
[Verse 2]
Yeah, right, like I really could've said something
You wouldn't have heard it if a train was coming
You had your head so high in the clouds
Oh, I, I had a really good reason
For hiding my feelings
But now I can finally spit it out
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone give me an amen
Someone give me an amen
[Chorus]
Can I get a thank God, hallelujah?
You finally saw what she was doing to ya
Your mama called it, she was right
Glad to see you saw the light
Whole town, yeah, we whooped and hollered
She drove away, nobody stopped her
Na-na, na-na-na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen
[Bridge]
I'm standing right here in front of you
I think I love you too
[Chorus]
Can I get a thank God, hallelujah?
Baby, do you believe it, do you?
Your mama called it, she was right
Glad to see you saw the light
Whole town, yeah, they whooped and hollered
The preacher's son and the farmer's daughter
Na-na, na-na-na, I'll say it again
Someone give me an amen
[Outro]
Someone give me an amen
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, yeah

Thank you so much. And there you go!
[Speaking: Cherrill Green]
One more?
[Speaking: Dean Berner]
Alright
[Speaking: Hannah Blaylock]
Awesome, this last song, Dean actually wrote this song. Do you wanna talk about it?
[Speaking: Dean Berner]
Yeah, sure. So, I guess a few years ago I had just moved into this new apartment in Nashville, and it was a little garage apartment behind this guy's house. And I'm looking in, I'm moving all my stuff in, and I see a bird's nest in the window. And I'm like, hey cool, I'm gonna have a little friend here, you know, there's a little bird that would come and go from the window. And the next morning, at about four a.m. it started chirping, and it woke me up. So anyway, this song just kind of fell on the page. I was sitting there, I was awake, I was kind of mad for a minute and then this this song just started pouring out. So I wrote it all down. I'm glad it's a part of the Cracker Barrel project. So this is Little Bird
