<br>By townes van zandt<br><br><br><br>Among the strangest things I ever heard<br><br>Was when a friend of mine said "man, lets get some thunderbird"<br><br>I said "whats that? " he just started to grin<br><br>Slobbered on his shirt, his eyes got dim<br><br>He said "you got fifty-nine cents? "<br><br><br><br><br><br>I said "yeah, I got a dollar, but dont be a smart-aleck<br><br>I aint gonna spend it on no indian relic"<br><br>And he said "thunderbirds not an old indian trinket,<br><br>Its a wine, man, you take it home and drink it."<br><br>I said "it sure dont sound like wine to me"<br><br>And he said hed bet me the change from my dollar<br><br><br><br><br><br>We hustled on down to the nearest u-tate-um<br><br>The guy wanted my id, I whipped her out and showed him<br><br>He got a green bottle from the freezing vault<br><br>My friend started doing backward somersaults<br><br>Through the cottage cheese<br><br><br><br><br><br>Took it back to his house, started drinkin<br><br>Pretty soon I set in to thinkin<br><br>"man, this thunderbird tastes yummy, yummy, yummy<br><br>And I know its doing good things to my tummy, tum..., t..."<br><br>Its so you reason when your on that crap<br><br><br><br><br><br>Got a few more bottles, chugged them down<br><br>I pulled myself up off the ground<br><br>Decided I go see my dearest sweet wife<br><br>Who met me at the door with a carving knife<br><br>Said "get them damn grape peel from between your teeth."<br><br><br><br><br><br>I could see were gonna have a little misunderstanding<br><br>I said "dear, I better get in touch with you later"<br><br>She said "forget it, man, youre never touchin me again!"<br><br><br><br><br><br>Now Ive seen the light and heard the word<br><br>And Im staying away from that ol dirty thunderbird<br><br>A message come from heaven radiant, and fine,<br><br>All I drink now is communion wine<br><br>Six days a week
