Free Bird Lyrics

Artist: Lynyrd Skynyrd

If I leave here tomorrow
would you still remember me
For I must be travelling on now
there's too many places I gotta see

And if I stay here with you girl
things just wouldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
and this bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Bye bye it's been sweet love
though this feeling I can't change
Please don't take it so bad now
Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

And if I stay here with you girl
things just couldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
and this bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Listen Jess, just remember ... "and this bird you cannot change .."

This is "my" breakup signature song that I like to pass on to former GF's.

Like it or lump it!

no its not that shows how much people know about his music so kiss off and stop thinking about drugs all the time

by Heather on 5/4/2010 10:26pm
No this song was written about his brother dieing not being high on cocaine you dumb ass!

Your are all wrong. The song was DEDICATED to Howard Duane Allman after he died by Ronnie Van Zant. Allen Collins wrote the song years prior. The song IS about a relationship for sure...a high school one at the time. Rookies...
