I grew up in a little town named after another Catching bass and cutting grass is how I spent my summers I know it sounds cliche, 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 thinking now
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 home I've always been a mockingbird but Now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone
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
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 home I've always been a mockingbird but Now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone A mockingbird with a microphone, with a microphone, with a microphone, with a microphone

The way I sing may not be pretty May not be music to your ears But when these wings roll through your city My last name is all you hear And I refuse to be another Mockingbird with a microphone I'll fly the line I choose to brother Even if that makes me the crow The crow, the crow Even if that makes me the crow The crow, the crow, The crow
