[Verse 1]
C
I grew up in a little town named after another
G
Catching bass and cutting grass is how I spent my summers
F
I know it sounds cliche, but it's how I was raised
C
And I got my first guitar from a pawn shop off of poplar
G
Picked up Sweet Home Alabama, and Smoke On The Water
F
And that's what got me out
F
It's crazy thinking now
[Chorus 1]
C
I'm a mockingbird
G
Singing songs that sound like other songs you've heard
Dm
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi's home
F
I've always been a mockingbird but
C
Now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone
[Verse 2]
C
I found myself a contract down on Sixteenth Avenue
G
Writing songs for anyone about anything I knew
F
And I've come a long long way
F
But one thing hasn't changed
[Chorus 1]
C
I'm a mockingbird
G
Singing songs that sound like other songs you've heard

Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi's home

I've always been a mockingbird but
C
Now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone

A mockingbird with a microphone, with a microphone, with a microphone,

With a microphone

Kiss the ring once in a while

Don't say, those words, put down your finger

Throw in a slow love song or two

Well fuck that, and fuck you 'cause
[Chorus 2]

The way I sing may not be pretty
F
May not be music to your ears
F
But when these wings roll through your city
C
My last name is all you hear
D#
And I refuse to be another
F
Mockingbird with a microphone
F
I'll fly the line I choose to brother

Even if that makes me the crow

The crow, the crow

Even if that makes me the crow
F
The crow, the crow, the crow

You're too loud, you're too proud it won't work

Rednecks with my dumb face on their T-shirt
[Chorus 2]

The way I sing may not be pretty

I'll fly the line I choose to brother

The crow, the crow

Even if that makes me the crow

The crow, the crow, the crow
