Heeey Heeey Heeey
C'mon
Verse 1
I Met Her In A Bar On A Saturday Night,
Five-Foot-Nothin’ And A Stick Of Dynamite,
She Was Slingin’ Pints, Singin’ Out Of Key,
Dancin’ On The Floor Like The Floor Was Free.
Red Hair Flyin’ Like A Flame In The Wind,
Devil In Her Smile, Little Saint In Her Grin,
She Cracked One Joke And The Whole Room Roared,
Then She Spun Around And Hollered,
“One More!”
Pre-Chorus
She Had Dublin In Her Laughter,
Wild Country In Her Bones,
And Before I Knew What Hit Me,
Lord, I Wasn’t Goin’ Home.
Chorus
Hey!! Red Hair Runnin’ Wild,
Half Irish Fire, Half Runaway Child,
She Stole My Heart With A Whiskey Smile,
And Let Me Keep It For A Little While.
Yeah, For One Sweet Night She Was Mine, All Mine,
Like A Shooting Star On Borrowed Time,
But You Can’t Put A Ring On The Open Sky,
And You Can’t Cage A Bird That Was Born To Fly.
Verse 2
She Danced On The Bar When The Last Bell Rang,
Kicked Up Her Heels While The Whole Room Sang,
Fiddle Went Fast And The Glasses Shook,
She Gave Me That Dangerous Come-Here Look.
She Said, “Don’t You Dare Go Fallin’ For Me,
I Belong To Nowhere And Nobody.”
I Said, “Darlin’, That Sounds Just Fine,”
But I Was Already Gone By Closing Time.
Pre-Chorus
She Had Galway In Her Heartbeat,
Tennessee In Her Sway,
A Little Storm Wrapped Up In Freckles
That No Man Could Make Stay.
Chorus
Hey!! Red Hair Runnin’ Wild,
Half Irish Fire, Half Runaway Child,
She Stole My Heart With A Whiskey Smile,
And Let Me Keep It For A Little While.
Yeah, For One Sweet Night She Was Mine, All Mine,
Like A Shooting Star On Borrowed Time,
But You Can’t Put A Ring On The Open Sky,
And You Can’t Cage A Bird That Was Born To Fly.
Instrumental Break
*Banjo Takes The Lead, Fiddle Answers, Boots Stomping, Pub Crowd Shouting “Hey!”*
Bridge
By Sunrise She Was Pullin’ On Her Boots,
Hummin’ Some Old Irish Tune,
She Kissed My Cheek And Stole My Shirt,
Said, “Boy, You’ll Get Over Me Soon.”
Well, I Laughed And Said, “You’re Trouble.”
She Said, “Honey, That Ain’t News.”
Then That Little Red-Haired Hurricane
Walked Off With My Favorite Blues.
Breakdown
So Raise One Up For The Girls You Meet
Who Never Were Meant To Stay,
The Ones Who Burn Like Midnight Fire
Then Disappear With Theeeeee Day.
Chorus
Hey!! Red Hair Runnin’ Wild,
Half Irish Fire, Half Runaway Child,
She Stole My Heart With A Whiskey Smile,
Hell, I’d Let Her Steal It Another While.
For One Wild Night She Was Mine, All Mine,
Bare Feet, Red Hair, Whiskey And Wine,,
But You Can’t Hold The Wind, Lord Knows I Tried,
And You Can’t Cage A Bird That Was Born To Fly.
Outro
No, You Can’t Cage A Bird
That Was Born To Fly...
She Blew Me A Kiss,
Said, “Boy, Goodbye!”
Hey! Eveline
