THE HUMMINGBIRD MAN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
it's the hummingbird man
the hummingbird man
driving cross the country
in a little stealth van
with the hold full of grapefruit
and his face full of smiles
the hummingbird man
flies for miles and miles
once he was a laborer
laying tiles and floors
once he was a busker
putting end to wars
once he was a carpenter
building Amish barns
once he was a dairyman
going farm to farm
but now he is a hummingbird
floating place to place
dropped out of the marathon
of the human race
took the spirit of the bird
as his saving grace
sipped the nectar of the gods
but just a taste
it's the hummingbird man
the hummingbird man
driving cross the country
in a little stealth van
with the hold full of grapefruit
and his face full of smiles
the hummingbird man
flies for miles and miles
