Lyrics :

I'm like a big ol' bird flyin' way up high in the sky
I'll be a sturdy wind until the day I die
I got a girl in every town
That I can kick-in real fase, but I put 'em right down
I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy

You girls better watch it when you see me coming your way
I'm as fast as a bullet and I ain't got time to stay
I've broken more hearts than a dog's got fleas
And I keep on edge, come on catch up with me
Cause I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy

Oh, you never catch me handing around
Waiting for these churchbells to ring
Cause I got a million places I just gotta go
I got a million songs I just gotta sing

I better be going before the evening sun goes down
I got a date with a pretty little chick in the very next town
I'm gonna hug her and kiss her in a hurry time
But I'll be gone before the morning light
Cause I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy

I know I ain't no doctor and I ain't no doctor's son
But I can't cool the feelin' till that ol' doctor comes
I better be going before the evening sun goes down
I got a date with a pretty little chick in the very next town
I'm gonna hug her and kiss her in a hurry time
But I'll be gone before the morning light
Cause I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy
Well I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy
Well I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda guy
