Earlybird
written: B. Leadon and R. Meisner
lead vocal: B. Leadon

Early in the morning, about the break of day
The earlybird is working so his life don't fade away
He spends his days denyin'
That he's got no time for flyin'
In the breeze
While high up on his own
The eagle flies alone
He is free

The earlybird is scratchin' though the going's getting tough
The time is passing by him and he just can't get enough
He'll tell you all is going well, but you know that somethin's wrong
The earlybird will wake one day and find his life is gone

You know I like to lay in bed and sleep out in the sun
Readin' books and playin' crazy music just for fun
You know it makes feel so fine and sets my mind at ease
To know that I don't harm a soul in doing what I please

Any old day you say
Ain't gonna fade away
Any old day you say
Ain't gonna fade away
Any old day you say
Ain't gonna fade away
Any old day you say
Ain't gonna fade away...
