  • (Mm, yeah ah)

    One, two, three, baby, don't think twice
    Just like that you gotta brand new life
    Hop in this truck and run through the red lights, uh

    Yeah, where you wanna go, baby, name the town
    We can go up north, we could head down south
    Roll down the windows with the radio loud

    Come on turn it up, yeah
    Start living your life
    On the double, leave your troubles behind
    You and me we're gonna be alright

    But you could be a black bird
    On a country street
    Hiding from the world with a broken wing
    But you better believe, you gonna fly with me
    And you could be a songbird from a New Orleans
    Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
    But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me

    Well, here we are baby in the back of my bed
    Sun's going down, sky's turning red
    Stars coming out
    Baby, look at you now

    God knows how long but it's been a while
    Since I heard you laugh and I've seen that smile
    Felt that kiss and I could get used to this
    Baby, I could get used to this

    'Cause you could be a black bird
    On a country street
    Hiding from the world with a broken wing
    But you better believe, you gonna fly with me
    Ooh, you could be a songbird from a New Orleans
    Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
    But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me, woo

    You're gonna fly
    But you're gonna fly

    Yeah, uh

    And you could be a black bird
    On a country street
    Hiding from the world with a broken wing
    But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me
    And you could be a songbird from a New Orleans
    Scared of the rain, you're so scared to sing
    But you better believe, yeah, you better believe, oh baby

    Oh, you could be a black bird
    On a country street
    Hiding from the world with a broken wing
    But you better believe, you're gonna fly with me, ooh yeah
    You could be a songbird from a New Orleans
    Scared of the rain 'cause you're scared to sing
    But you better believe you're gonna fly with me

    You're gonna fly
    You're gonna fly with me, baby
    You better believe, my honey girl
    Ooh yeah, you're goin' to fly Writer/s: Chris Lucas, Jaren Johnston, Preston Brust
