Story Behind The Song
Ask Joe.
Song Description
Another classic from my old friend. This is proof that people don't have a clue about good music. Since I was 21 I felt Joe Moser would be the next Nashville star. Great voice, great lyrics, great songs. Can't fix stupid. Can't make the deaf hear. Can't

Lyrics
Red Bird
When the Red Bird sang
Memories came flooding back like yesterday
Daddy with a shovel on his shoulder
Mama sewing clothes for us to wear
Oh the times have changed
Not too much remains
Of what used to be
Just the song of the Red Bird
In a drifters memory
Round and round it turns
Everyday the bridges burn
Until nothing's left
To connect us to the past
Now the Red Bird sings
And I remember things
That we have done
Places we have seen
Moments in the sun
From a tin-roof shack
To the woodshed in the back
To the city where no one sees the stars
Only bars and cars
And country girls gone bad
Morning light, I'm alright
As I clench my teeth
And get ready for the day
I'll wait to see what tomorrow brings
And listen as the Red Bird sings...
