Lyrics:

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

[Chorus]
Sparrow
Oh, it wouldn't trade nothing 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
Waiting on the wind to take you home

[Verse 2]
Hard rain over Fayetteville
Jack and Coke, a sleeping pill

Living the dream
Thirty thousand feet down there
You're waking daddy up in his chair
And cutting the lights and locking the door and saying a prayer

[Chorus]
For a sparrow
Who wouldn't trade nothing 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
You're higher than you've ever been
Lonely like you never been
Waiting on the wind to take you home

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