Slippin' through a broken window pane
Headed down a westbound country lane
I never was anybody could be proud of
No, I said, I to society?
Good enough is good enough for me
Sing me away on the wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove, like the song
Sing me away on a Tennessee rooster
That break of a Tennessee
I do not care if I get where I'm headed
Just movin' to be movin' mercy me
If anything holds me, I will accept it
Cause I'm not all that keen on being free
Another was cut down at Bunker Hill
Same old steel provided whiskey for them
And for all I know, it always will
Sing me away on the wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove like the song
Sing me away on a Tennessee rooster
At break of a Tennessee dawn
Married to Charlene and Abilene
It lasted for a month and seven days
So I think I may head back on down that way
Prepared inside to find her compromised
By all that's necessary to survive
Sing me away on the wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove like a song
Growing up a Tennessee dawn
At break of a Tennessee dawn
