Whippoorwill, sing your song, it don't take long to get back where you're from
Whippoorwill, I know you're gone by the morning come, I wish you'd sing all day long
Sitting out by the lake, I hear you calling, calling out to me
Sitting out by the lake, I see you leaving me and going far away
Don't know why every time I find myself along that long white line
It's like a bluebird call of alcohol, seems like I could find another way
But the sun's in Colorado and she don't like to shine way down here, way down here, way down here
You don't have to like my ways, find another place to stay a while
Just get on up and walk away, wish I cared enough to let you make me cry
But the only ones that can hold me down are me, myself and this nowhere town
Ain't that hard to find a bar, I guess I'll just go and drink my pain away
But the sun's in Colorado and she don't like to shine way down here, way down here, way down here
