House Wren lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm a house wren, hunting for a house

I haven't found one, I'm on the lookout

For a home to call my own

A private residence

Through the grapevine I heard an empty gourd

Is hangin' up somewhere on some old lady's porch

I'll pack my bags and off I'll go

To my new humble abode

[Chorus]

I'm gonna sing at the top of my lungs

'Cause it's a beautiful day

I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause as far as I know

I am halfway home

[Verse 2]

I'm a house wren who needs a summer home

A country farmhouse or a quiet bungalow

Not too big, and not too small

First-rate real estate

I got my eyes peeled for a window box

An old tin can, a boot or a flower pot

I'll pack my bags and off I'll go

To my new humble abode

[Chorus]

I'm gonna sing at the top of my lungs

'Cause it's a beautiful day

I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause as far as I know

I am halfway home

[Verse 3]

I'm a house wren still hunting for a house

But I got a song and a lot to sing about

I'll pack my bags and off I'll go

Because you know

[Chorus]

I'm gonna sing at the top of my lungs

'Cause it's a beautiful day

I'm gonna spread my wings

I'm on top of the world

And it's a beautiful thing

I'm gonna sing at the top of my lungs

'Cause it's a beautiful day

I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause as far as I know

I am halfway home

[Outro]

I am halfway home
