Bluebird Cafe Lyrics - Singles - John Waite

Her I.D., says she's 21 

But she's just 17 

Her apron says Mary 

But her real name is Jean 

She's working cleaning tables off 

At the local Dairy Queen 

And she's the real thing 

Yeah 

Young hearts can fly, restless and wild 

Though it's a thousand days away 

She's got the will and she'll find a way 

To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe 

To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe 

She's got her boyfriends name 

Carved in the back of her guitar 

It's a beat up old Epiphone 

With painted on stars 

She wears her brother's 501's 

And keeps her tips in a jar 

By a picture of Patsy Cline 

She's fine 

Young hearts can fly, restless and wild 

Though she'll get out of this town someday 

She's got the will and she'll find a way 

To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe 

Yeah, to the stage of the Bluebird Cafe 

She's into country, body and soul 

But nobody's future is written in the stone 

And to get what she wants 

She's gonna have to walk alone 

And she will all the way to Nashville 

To Nashville, yeah yeah 

She comes out of work some nights 

Stops and stares down the road 

Through the heat and the crickets 

And the telegraph poles 

Out in the darkness 

Hank's Blue Highway calls 

And she just stops and smiles 

Yeah 

Young hearts can fly, restless and wild 

Though it's a thousand days away 

She's got the will and she'll find a way, yeah 

To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe 

Yeah, to the stage of the Bluebird Cafe 

She's got the will and she'll find a way 

To the stage of the Bluebird Cafe
