Bird in a Cage

Bird in a Cage
1. Bird in a Cage


Bird in a Cage
(verse 1)
she had dreams of leaving that little town
Riley couldn't keep her around
but even she had to admit
it was the warmest bed she had ever known

so he got in his truck
acted like he didn't give a fuck
his mom tried to call him
her picture in his wallet
made him not want to count his money

(chorus)
he didn't know why he just let her go
but the big city is just something he doesn't know
why did he tell her she could really sing?
he could have put that pretty bird in a cage with just a ring
but she liked how he played guitar
and he loved everything they are
or were...
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
she met him in the church parking lot
Riley wanted to kiss her goodbye but she got
her only suitcase up off the cracked pavement
got on that bus and away she went

she'd catch the night train
and Riley would sit alone on the edge of a cold bed
and listen to the rain
hit the metal roof they laid on and watched the stars
wrapped in his plaid shirt
that she took with her and it hurt

(chorus)
he didn't know why he just let her go
but the big city is just something he doesn't know
why did he tell her she could really sing?
he could have put that pretty bird in a cage with just a ring
but she liked how he played guitar
and he loved everything they are
or were...
(end chorus)

(bridge)
when she cut that demo
he thought she would give up till he got the memo
she didn't need him no more
but she cried when she told him her dream
how could he send a bullet through that self-esteem
he could only build it up
because he's a good guy who needs to man up
but she could've made a hell of a bride
but she wants a taste of what a mechanic can't provide

(chorus)
he didn't know why he just let her go
but the big city is just something he doesn't know
why did he tell her she could really sing?
he could have put that pretty bird in a cage with just a ring
but she liked how he played guitar
and he loved everything they are
he didn't know why he just let her go
but the big city is just something he doesn't know
why did he tell her she could really sing?
he could have put that pretty bird in a cage with just a ring
but she liked how he played guitar
and he loved everything they are
or were...
(end chorus)
