​the mockingbird & THE CROW HARDY

[Verse 1]
I grew up in a little town named after another
Catchin' bass and cuttin' grass was how I spent my summers
I know it sounds cliché, but it's how I was raised
And I got my first guitar from a pawn shop off of Poplar
Picked up "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Smoke On The Water"
And that's what got me out
It's crazy thinkin' now

[Chorus 1]
I'm a mockingbird
Singin' songs that sound like other songs you've heard
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt
And how Mississippi's home
I've always been a mockingbird but now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone

[Verse 2]
I found myself a contract down on Sixteenth Avenue
Writing songs for anyone about anything I knew
And I've come a long long way
But one thing hasn't changed

[Chorus 1]
I'm a mockingbird
Singing songs that sound like other songs you've heard
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt
And how Mississippi's homе
I've always been a mockingbird but now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone
A mockingbird with a microphone
Ooh, with a microphonе, with a microphone, with a microphone
