Karaoké The Mockingbird & the Crow HARDY

I grew up in a little town named after another

Catchin' bass and cuttin' grass was how I spent my summers

I know it sounds cliché but it's how I was raised

And I got my first guitar from a pawn shop off of Poplar

Picked up Sweet Home Alabama and Smoke On The Water

And that's what got me out

It's crazy thinkin' now

I'm a mockingbird

Singin' songs that sound like other songs you've heard

Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt

And how Mississippi's home

I've always been a mockingbird but now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone

I found myself a contract down on Sixteenth Avenue

Writin' songs for anyone about anything I knew

And I've come a long, long way but one thing hasn't changed

I'm a mockingbird

Singin' songs that sound like other songs you've heard

Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt

And how Mississippi's home

I've always been a mockingbird but now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone

Mmh

A mockingbird with a microphone

Mmh with a microphone

With a microphone

With a microphone

Do this

Do that

That shirt

This hat

Don't forget to smile

Kiss the ring once in a while

Don't say those words

Put down your finger

Throw in a slow love song or two, well

Fuck that and fuck you 'cos

The way I sing may not be pretty

May not be music to your ears

But when these wings roll through your city my last name is all you hear

And I refuse to be another mockingbird with a microphone

I'll fly the line I choose to brother

Even if that makes me the crow

The crow

The crow

Even if that makes me the crow

The crow

The crow

The crow

Well do that

Do this

Unclench your fist

You're too loud

You're too proud

It won't work

Well tell that to twenty-five thousand rednecks with my dumb face on their t-shirt

The way I sing may not be pretty

May not be music to your ears

But when these wings roll through your city my last name is all you hear

And I refuse to be another mockingbird with a microphone

I'll fly the line I choose to brother

Even if that makes me the crow

The crow

The crow

Even if that makes me the crow

The crow

The crow

The crow

I'm a mockingbird

Singin' songs that sound like other songs you've heard

Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt

And how Mississippi's home

I've always been a mockingbird but now I'm a mockingbird and I'm the crow
