Ricky Skaggs - Hummingbird Lyrics
Got tired of livin' in that one horse town
When to the station flagged that hummingbird down
I didn't even call to say goodbye
I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry
Now I'm walkin' to the city gonna make my name
I had to ride that hummingbird just let me ride that hummingbird
I'm gonna make it now just any day
I've got this guitar and I came to play
Lyin' here lonely knowin' what I lost
My heart keeps asking was it worth the cost
Now ain't it funny how that always seems
Once you're standing there and the grass ain't so green
Why did I ride that hummingbird why did I ride that hummingbird
Oh today she called me on the telephone
She said hey country boy you been gone too long
Here comes that hummingbird and she's right on time
I'm gonna ride that hummingbird just let me ride that hummingbird
I'm gonna ride just let me ride that hummingbird

Ricky Skaggs Hummingbird Comments
Always liked Ricky Skaggs but I prefer Restless Heart's version of this song.
AAALLLLLRIGHT::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.................................GReat Boyyyyyyyyyy............................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a big fan of bluegrass type music,But I love Ricky Skaggs music!!
Did Ricky write this or is it a cover?
It's a cover of a Restless Heart song.
I guess Ricky chose not to let it end, but to fade out.
Is Skaggs hit the original or did some other artist or country band release it on the country charts before Eicky did?
I know that Restless Heart co-wrote and recorded it, 1st.
Has me wandering, is the Hummingbird train, or bus?
It was an L&N (Louisville & Nashville) passenger train.
Man this is some good ass music
