[Verse 1]
Telephones and post cards
Called you from the lobby bar on Tuesday
How's the okra comin' up?
Boy, I wish I had me some
Save me a plate
Yeah, I've been sleepin' alright
Get a couple days in July
Kiss Dad for me, I love you both, goodnight

[Chorus]
Sparrow
Oh, it wouldn't trade nothin' for the way it feels to fly
It ain't fair though
How you miss the ground when you're out here in the sky
Higher than you've ever been
Lonely like you never been
Waitin' on the wind to take you home

[Verse 2]
Hard rain over Fayetteville
Jack and Coke, a sleepin' pill
Livin' the dream
Thirty thousand feet down there
You're wakin' Daddy up in his chair
Cuttin' the lights and lockin' the door and sayin' a prayer
[Chorus]
For a sparrow
Wouldn't trade nothin' for the way it feels to fly
It ain't fair though
How you miss the ground when you're out here in the sky
Higher than you've ever been
Lonely like you never been
Waitin' on the wind to take you home

[Outro]
Higher than you've ever been
Lonely like you never been
Waitin' on the wind to take you home
Sparrow
Sparrow
Sparrow
Sparrow
Sparrow
