lyrics

Waiting all day in Fat Man’s Holler
Meeting a man, gonna earn me a dollar
If he don’t come today, I’ll be here tomorrow

Lived all my life in Fat Man’s Holler
Married a girl had two sons and a daughter
I wish they’d come back today but I don’t think they’re gonna

Spend all my nights in the bar down the Holler
Drinking my way through every damn dollar
Walking back home alone each step taking me farther

See the birds fly away on this winter’s day
See the birds fly away………………

The last stop I make is the house on the corner
Losing myself with some girl from the parlour
Watching the sun come up as my life’s growing darker

See the birds fly away on this winter’s day
See the birds fly away
