She writes a very good letter
2 years at Brown have served her well
She's getting better and better
At making the spin
So you just can't tell
And if a new guy will let her
She's coming down on the evening train
She's riding the Bluebird
So keep it rolling till the morning comes
Bluebird, how long does it take you
To roll all the way back down
All the way from Watertown
Bluebird, don't let New England
Ever try to slow you down
Just keep on rolling down
Oh rolling down
She's waiting out on the platform
Hands in her pockets and her coat pulled up tight
She's wearing her new face
But there's no keeping out
The cold rain tonight
She could have taken the airplane
She just felt like being away from the crowd
A little time to think
She's got some things that she needs to figure out
Bluebird, how long does it take you
To roll all the way back down
All the way from Watertown
Bluebird, don't let New England
Ever try to slow you down
Just keep on rolling down
Oh rolling down
She keeps her eyes on the money
Rich boys for her aren't easy to meet
But it's always trouble
She's not the kind of girl they like to keep
So she's making her own way
It's better than crawling back home
But it's her mother's birthday
And she's been away too long
Bluebird, how long does it take you
To roll all the way back down
All the way from Watertown
Bluebird, don't let New England
Ever try to slow you down
Just keep on rolling down
Oh rolling down
