about

Ride the wind day. Go fly a kite. Or listen to this song.

lyrics

Wild as a bluejay, your message came to me,
I was rested from a 'Bama night.
Woke up to see if I could see about heading on back up,
But naked as a jaybird was the love you left for me.

Left for me, left for me.
Naked as a jaybird was the love you left for me.

I'd see about my bridle, you would see to cut the sails,
So Tennessee would landlock me.
We'd work out what we needed in hopes for loving can't,
But naked as a jaybird was the love that we had left.

Left for me, left for me.
Naked as a jaybird was the love you left for me.

Naked as a jaybird was the love you left for me,
Woke up blurry, light, and green.
Those Tennessee dogs, they walk my Alabama feet,
But the wiles of a bluejay are cawing home to me.

Left for me, left for me.
Naked as a jaybird was the home you left for me.
