(When the word was Thunderbird)
(And the price was 40 twice)
(Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun, honey)
♪
Up every morning at the crack of dawn
Nights as short as the days are long
Life turned out to be another magazine
I'm livin' with a stranger now
The girl I knew got away somehow
She went out with two bit gasoline
I wanna go back
You know what I mean, ah
When the word was Thunderbird
And the price was 40 twice
Drinkin' wine and lovin' you was fun
Oh, but love turned out to be a passin' thing
Different bird of a different wing
Some damn fool put a dollar 29
On a jug of Thunderbird wine
And Lord, I don't know if I'm gonna make it
I don't know if I'll have the strength to take it
Everything's hung up in yesterday, hey
Married to a civic-minded social girl
Takin' short cuts in a woman's world
She won't let her hair down when I'm home
Society's just slavery
And security is a-killing me
I work hard for it but I give it all away
If I could go back to yesterday
When the word was Thunderbird
