If you buy her a dream she'll follow you anywhere
To any old truck stop that this world might bring
She's a heart held down by this little town
And she's looking to find a bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she's destined to fly
Bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She makes a small hole in the frost on the window
And she's looking out past old familiar things
And she lets her mind slip from the old change and napkins
But her hearts looking out for a bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she's destined to fly
Bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She stacks up the cups, she counts out her few tips
But she's humming a tune that a drifter might sing
And she gets to thinking that she's tired of waiting
And maybe she'll be her own bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she's destined to fly
Bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She's like a bird on a wing
Bird on a wing
She knows in her heart she's destined to fly
Bird on a wing
Oh, Bird on a wing
She's waiting for you to fly by
She's waiting for you to fly by
