I was just a teenage boy on my way to school Mama made it me for me as I turned on to me Details too uncertain as I put on my shoe It wasn't the shoe what I put, but I knew I had the blues
'Cause that's the day the freebird fell, oh, I remember it well When it cried it ran and died, it never said farewell What it'd see in the southern song, stories told, still live on Ooh, the day the freebird fell
I pulled myself together and I went on my way Missed the bus on purpose so I can walk that day Tuesdays gone a simple man, a player in my mind Sweet home Alabama could I snore at one more time
'Cause that's the day the freebird fell, oh, I remember it well When it cried it ran and died, it never said farewell What it'd see in the southern song, stories told, still live on Ooh, the day the freebird fell, the freebird fell
Freebird fell
Many years have come and gone, lot of things have changed Father Time's just passed me by, one thing stayed the same When I'm feeling lonely, when I'm feeling blue I crank up some of that good old honky and Lord, I think of You
Back to the day the freebird fell, oh, I remember well When it cried it ran and died, it never said farewell What it'd see in the southern song, stories told, still live on Ooh, the day the freebird fell, freebird fell
Three steps, you got that right Ooh, that smell A simple man was coming home The day the freebird fell
