And watching all the birds passing by
Oh how sweet they sing
And oh how much I wish that I could fly
And I try
I said I try
I try
I really try try try
But I got to
Pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again (Chorus 2x)
Sittin' in the midday sun
And wondering where my meal's coming from
After working so hard
Not even piece of bread at the yard
And I said I try
Oh Lord I try
I try
I really try try try
Sittin' in the evening sun
And watching the same birds passing by
Sittin' and wondering
And waiting for the time for me to fly
And I try
I said I try
Good Lord I try
I really try try try
So long and I just find
It was just a waste of time
So long and I just find
I been been wasting all my time
I've got to pick myself up...
Sittin' in the morning sun And watching all the birds passing by Oh how sweet they sing And oh how much I wish that I could fly And I try I said I try I try I really try try try But I got to Pick myself up Dust myself off Start all over, again (Chorus 2x) Sittin' in the midday sun And wondering where my meal's coming from After working so hard Not even piece of bread at the yard And I said I try Oh Lord I try I try I really try try try Sittin' in the evening sun And watching the same birds passing by Sittin' and wondering And waiting for the time for me to fly And I try I said I try Good Lord I try I really try try try So long and I just find It was just a waste of time So long and I just find I been been wasting all my time I've got to pick myself up...
