Chattanooga, down in Chattanooga That's where I first met her I thought that I knew her She turned my world around, she turned a country boy upside down But she turned out to be just another night time bird on the wing She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream. Then over in Georgia east side of Georgia That's how far I followed her she was gorgeous She turned my world around Well, how come every time I go downtown She turned a country boy upside down But she turned out to be just another night time bird on the wing She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream. Well, how come every time I go downtown to have a good time Some little sweet thing comes along and leaves me the tab for my last dime San Antone way down in San Antone I bought her a great big ring on a great big loan She turned my world around, she turned a country boy upside down But she turned out to be just another night time bird on the wing She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream I'm goin' home now goin' back to the farm now Although I don't really know just when or how She turned my world around, she turned a country boy upside down But she turned out to be just another night time bird on the wing She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream. She turned out to be just another wild eyed dream
