lyrics

10¢ Songbird

You made me a ten cent songbird
sing so low it burns
sing so long it hurts
sing so high I that I could die
but I gotta keep singing these worn-out words
just incase they're heard

I'm a ten cent songbird
my heart and soul done take a turn
in a jukebox spinner
I'm a lowdown singer
begging for my dinner
I'm a saint gone sinner
with my dimes dimes dimes

and I gotta have pockets for my dimes
and I gotta have Jangle by my side
and I gotta have loving' on my mind
and I gotta have rhythm in my stride
And I got have pockets for my dimes
pockets for my dimes if I'm a ten cent songbird till the end of time

I'm a ten cent songbird
ain't no life I'm livin'
fools advice I'm givin'
tips so cheap they're stinging
seven bucks I'm spending
in these used blue jeans I dance dance dance

and I gotta have pockets for my dimes
and I gotta have Jangle by my side
and I gotta have loving' on my mind
and I gotta have rhythm in my stride
And I got have pockets for my dimes
pockets for my dimes if I'm a ten cent songbird till the end of time

and I gotta have pockets for my dimes
and I gotta have Jangle by my side
and I gotta have loving' on my mind
and I gotta have rhythm in my stride
And I got have pockets for my dimes
pockets for my dimes if I'm a ten cent songbird till the end of time

"Quiet and somber melodies with introspective lyrics and ethereal instrumentals create an exciting dynamic that Rogers excels at. One can see why she brings audiences to a still awareness and complete hush, as she dazzles the listeners who give her their full attention." ... more
