Thunderbird - Shaver

Up every morning at the crack of dawn

Nights as short as the days are long

Life turned out to be another magazine

I’m livin' with a stranger now

Girl, I knew got away somehow

She went out with two bit gasoline

I wanna go, back — you know what I mean, ah

When the word was Thunderbird

And the price was forty twice

Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun

Now but love turned out to be a passin' thing

Different bird of a different wing

Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine

On a jug of Thunderbird wine

And Lord, I don’t know if I’m gonna make it

I don’t know if I’ll have the strength to take it

Everything’s hung up in yesterday

Married to a civic minded social girl

Takin' short cuts in a woman’s world

She won’t let her hair down when I’m home

Society’s just slavery

And security is killing me

I work hard for it but I give it all away

If I could go back to yesterday

When the word was Thunderbird

And the price was forty twice

Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun

Now but love turned out to be a passin' thing

Different bird of a different wing

Some damn fool put a dollar twenty nine

On a jug of Thunderbird wine

And Lord, I don’t know if I’m gonna make it

I don’t know if I’ll have the strength to take it

Everything’s hung up in yesterday

When the word was Thunderbird

And the price was forty twice

Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
