Cuckoo Lyrics

I walked alone
I never tried to stay in line
I didn't know what I was doing half the time
I didn't know that my life would ever change
I didn't think that anybody felt the same way
And then you came

I said "I wanna try it all without regret
I wanna meet the kind of folks I never met"
Skipping school and smoking cigarettes
We hadn't even really gotten started yet

Cuckoo
Let's go driving
Cuckoo
Cause there's nowhere to go
Cuckoo
We're in hiding
They're telling our story on the radio

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more

People said we'd have to make it on our own
We never thought there'd be another hand to hold
We didn't care, we never did what we were told
They couldn't break us
They could never turn us cold
You and me well we were never growing old
Cuckoo
We're still driving
Cuckoo
Cause there's nowhere to go
Cuckoo
We're in hiding
They're telling our story on the radio

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more
No, no more

I see you now
We talk about
The way it used to be
When we were brave
We misbehaved
Yeah you know what I mean
And you know why
Our battle cry always comes back to me

Cuckoo
Cuckoo
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
(And somewhere to go)
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
(And somewhere to go)
Yeah
(And somewhere to go)
Yeah
I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more
No, no more

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more
No more
(And somewhere to go)
No more
(And somewhere to go)
No more
(And somewhere to go)
No more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
