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
