IF YOU WERE A BLUEBIRD
Written by Butch Hancock
As sung by Joe Ely

   G
1. If you were a bluebird, honey, you'd be a sad one.
               C
I'd give you a true word, but you've already had one.
             G                     D
If you were a bluebird, you'd be crying.
                G
You'd be flying home.

2. If you were a raindrop, you'd shine like a rainbow,
And if you were a train stop, that conductor would sing low.
If you were a raindrop, you'd be falling.
You'd be calling home.

3. If you were a hotel, honey, you'd be a grand one.
But if you hit a slow spell, do you think you could stand one?
If you were hotel, I'd lean on your doorbell.
I'd call you my home.

4. If I was a highway, I'd stretch alongside you.
I'd help you pass byways that have dissatisfied you
If I was a highway, I'd be stretching.
I'd be fetching you home.

[REPEAT 1.]

Toni Price does a beautiful version, too. It's off her album "Hey" and you can hear it on Itunes.
