[Verse 1]
She knows how he lives, she's seen it all before
Oh, he told her so with his own words, "I'm still after more"
So, at night, she prays, crying out loud to the Lord
"What kind of man revolves his plans 'round searching for evermore?"

[Chorus]
He makes his way from the bottom, find that dollar out there in the cold
All the while, she's sitting patient, waiting for him to come home
He says, "Oh, my darling, I can't stop it, I am built to roam
But so that I am always with you
Think of me out there as that blackbird on the porch"

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Ah, ah-ah

[Verse 2]
He's fire, she's ice, and they smoke out еvery day
Temporary resolutions makе 'em feel like they're okay
He says, "Baby, don't you worry, soon I'll give you what you want"
She don't know how long she'll be waiting for, but she keeps hanging on

[Chorus]
He makes his way from the bottom, find that dollar out there in the cold
All the while, she's sitting patient, waiting for him to come home
He says, "Oh, my darling, I can't stop it, I am built to roam
But so that I am always with you
Think of me out there as that blackbird on the porch"
