In For The Night Lyrics By The Dirt Band

    stare up at me momma like ya used to
    weather’s kind of cold but i don’t care
    fatten up that ol’ rhode island rooster
    it’s gettin’ to feel like fall at the county fair

    well there’s a jaybird flyin’ home to mobile
    sleepin’ in your cornfield for a while
    seems he just backed into a square meal
    and he’s in for the night

    so fine yellow moon reflectin’
    through the frost along the window pane
    well i’m a shootin’ star in the wrong direction
    hey i love you momma but i just can’t seem to change

    and like that jaybird flyin’ home to mobile
    sleepin’ in your cornfield for a while
    seems i just backed into a square meal
    and i’m in for the night

    and if i was one for speculatin’
    i suspect i might be back around
    well you might find me riding on a breeze ablowin’
    northern bound

    hey like that jaybird flyin’ home to mobile
    sleepin’ in your cornfield for a while
    seems i just backed into a square meal
    and i’m in for the night
