Lyrics
Driving east from Memphis on a February night / Windows down and the heat turned up, sky spilling with starlight / Someone gave me fifty bucks 'cause he liked the songs I write
CHORUS: Oh, I know a sparrow can learn to sing
Someday I'll learn to be funny and to solo on guitar / and everyone will love me, and I'll drive the fastest car / So I can outrun that empty pain that trails me as I go // CHORUS
Right now someone's talking 'bout Jesus, right now someone's fighting a war / Right now I'm still trying to understand just what I'm singing for / 'Cause there's nothing I could tell you / that in your heart, you don't already know // CHORUS // Oh, I know the sparrow can learn to sing
