If You Were a Bluebird Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

(Butch Hancock)


If you were a bluebird you′d be a sad one
I'd give you a true word
But you′ve already had one
If you were a bluebird,
You'd be crying
You'd be flying home
If you were a raindrop,
You′d shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop,
The conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop,
You′d be falling
You'd be calling home


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 a hotel,
Well I'd lean on your doorbell
I′d call you my home
If I was a highway,
I'd stretch alongside you
I′d help you pass by ways
That had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway,
Well I'd be stretchin'
I′d be fetchin′ you home
