Lyrics

Big Green Bird

James Hooker

Verse 1

It came upon a midnight clear in Georgia
I never felt so far away from my home
Cause if home is where the heart is, it ain't Georgia
I can't tell you how, I can't tell you when
But I'm gone

Verse 2

It's rainin' like hell in Savannah
But I hear it's nice up north
The telephone line is my only line to you
But that telephone line can only do so much
In this big cold house
I'm catchin' the first thing they let me on
Back to you

Bridge

There'll come a day when you
Get in your car and drive away
Under a sky so blue
To meet me and then
It all begins again
My telephone rings and rings
And no one answers

Chorus 1

They're serving drinks in coach
On this Big Green Bird
A more beautiful bird I've never seen
In all my years of ridin' these things
And now, Georgia's just a word

Chorus 2

They're turnin' down the lights in coach
On this Big Green Bird
I'll close my eyes and dream the dream
I started back in Georgia
That's my final word
