Once in a time 

Where the girls feel like girls 

And the world is painted 

Cotton candy 

Where the sweet lemonade 

Of mcgregor street 

Was the best the damn thing of the summer breeze 

Your dad drives a foreign car 

And your mama looks like a beauty queen 

Now the sour bitter days 

Of a colorless place 

Seems to light up my nights somehow 

And the music i play must be loud, loud, loud, loud, loud as can be 

So i dont have to hear myself think 

So i dont have to wake up from this dream 

I dont wanna sing no single mama blues 

Im not singin look at me i've been abused 

O im honestly lost girl starin at you 

So maybe ill put on my high heel shoes 

And soar the night away 

And soar the night away 

But whatever i do 



Im not gonna slow this bird down 

I don't wanna look life in the eye 

I'm not gonna fall face first in the spiral called a life 

Im not in denial 

Im not suicidal 

Not an alcoholic 

Im not out here whoring

So just shut the f**k up 

This birds not slowing down 

Once in a while 

When the sun does its job 

Lets the clouds take a nice day off 

I can breeze through the day 



And just run through night 

Here injisted of those big blue eyes 

Is this is life might run 

On the evening of fourth july 

So i got reason to fly 



Im not gonna slow this bird down 

I don't wanna look life in the eye 

I don't wanna fall face first in the spiral called a life 

Im not in denial 

Im not suicidal 

Not an alcoholic 

Im not out here whoring

So just shut the f**k up 

This birds not slowing down 



Slowing dowwwwnnn 

Slowing downnnnn 

Slowing dowwwnnnn 



Its not over yet 

The song isnt over yet 

Aint no birds 

Gonna slow me down 

Imma keep on rollin 

And aint no birds gonna slow me down 

Keep on rollin 

And aint no birds 

Gonna slow me down 

Imma keep on rollin 

And aint no birds gonna slow me down
