Hadn't seen since eleventh grade
Saw our name on the marquie sign
And stopped in to see us play
He said, man it's been a few years
I said, man, they'll let anybody in here
We sat and talked of rebel days gone by
And we laughed of how our dreams of California
Never got much past the county line
We drank a toast to long lost friends
And all those crazy things we did
It was freebird in a firebird
On the way up Hawthorne road
Long necks, long hair
Wild eyed girls and rock and roll
Play the drum set on the dance floor
Lighters held up for the encore
And not a worry in that southern summer sky
And we let that freebird fly
He said, man it's funny
How that time is bound to race
And how you'd give back your right arm
To get back just a day
Or retaste your first teenage kiss
Feel them backroads turn and twist
Seeing nothing but dust in your rearview
There wasn't a car in our town any faster
Now yesterday's just rusting in my pasture
We were too big, the town was too small
But looking back we had it all
Singing freebird in a firebird
On the way up Hawthorne road
Long necks, long hair
Wild eyed girls and rock and roll
Play the drum set on the dance floor
Lighters held up for the encore
And not a worry in that southern summer sky
And we let that freebird fly
[Instrumental Interlude]
It was freebird in a firebird
On the way up Hawthorne road
Long necks, long hair
Wild eyed girls and rock and roll
Play the drum set on the dance floor
Lighters held up for the encore
And not a worry in that southern summer sky
And we let that freebird fly
Let that freebird fly
Fly on freebird
Ran across a friend of mine Hadn't seen since eleventh grade Saw our name on the marquie sign And stopped in to see us play He said, man it's been a few years I said, man, they'll let anybody in here We sat and talked of rebel days gone by And we laughed of how our dreams of California Never got much past the county line We drank a toast to long lost friends And all those crazy things we did It was freebird in a firebird On the way up Hawthorne road Long necks, long hair Wild eyed girls and rock and roll Play the drum set on the dance floor Lighters held up for the encore And not a worry in that southern summer sky And we let that freebird fly He said, man it's funny How that time is bound to race And how you'd give back your right arm To get back just a day Or retaste your first teenage kiss Feel them backroads turn and twist Seeing nothing but dust in your rearview There wasn't a car in our town any faster Now yesterday's just rusting in my pasture We were too big, the town was too small But looking back we had it all Singing freebird in a firebird On the way up Hawthorne road Long necks, long hair Wild eyed girls and rock and roll Play the drum set on the dance floor Lighters held up for the encore And not a worry in that southern summer sky And we let that freebird fly [Instrumental Interlude] It was freebird in a firebird On the way up Hawthorne road Long necks, long hair Wild eyed girls and rock and roll Play the drum set on the dance floor Lighters held up for the encore And not a worry in that southern summer sky And we let that freebird fly Let that freebird fly Fly on freebird Explain Request ×
