Them birds of Texas, they don't mind
They spend their time on the telephone line
It's almost like they know, there ain't no hurry to go
They're all gonna get there in the end
Them blue birds look like they got it made
Living in that live oak shade
Looking at a future they don't know will never last
Never so worried about the past
Cause them birds of Texas, they don't mind
They spend their time on the telephone line
It's almost like they know, there ain't no where better to go
They're all gonna get there in the end
Those red breasted hummingbirds float along
Never too worried about their songs
Their harried work will see them through another day
They know it don't have to be this way
Cause them birds of Texas, they don't mind
They spend their time on the telephone line
It's almost like they know, there ain't no where better to go
They're all gonna get there in the end
These old crows look at me with wonder
They know that soon we'll be asunder
They see today as something old but well worth keeping
When the sun goes down, they'll be sleeping
Cause them birds of Texas, they don't mind
They spend their time on the telephone line
It's almost like they know, there ain't no where better to go
There ain't no need to pretend
