[Verse 1]
             
There's a hund

              
red bluebirds,

 
 up above the 

clouds
             
Putting all th

              
e color in the

 
 sky
             
And twice as m

              
any tear drops

    
, there to was

h it down
             
Every one's an

       
other lullaby

[Chorus]
             
But there's on

           
ly one and onl

Who could go a

             
nd leave me lo

[Verse 2]
             
There's a worl

              
d of trouble, 


Trying to take

 its turn
             
I can hear it 

             
shaking underg

round
             
And half a doz

            
en lessons, I 

might never le

arn
             
Not until them

              
 troubles come

 
 around

[Chorus]
             
But there's on

[Verse 3]
             
There's a mile

              
 of blacktop, 


where the road

 begins
             
It takes a tim

              
e or two to re

 
cognize
             
Growing at the

           
 roadside, sca

ttered by the 

wind
             
Are everybody'

You're the onl
