Freebird In A Firebird

Ran across a friend of mine
 Hadn't seen since eleventh grade
 Saw our name on the marquee sign
 And stopped in to hear us play
 He said,? Man, it's been a few years?
 I said,? 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
 It was long necks, long hair
 Wild eyed girls and rock 'n' roll
 Play the drum set on the dance floor
 Lighters held up for the encore
 Not a worry in that southern summer sky
 And we let that Freebird fly
 He said,? Man, it's funny
 How the time evaporates
 And how you'd give your right arm
 To get back just a day?
 ? Or re-taste your first teenage kiss
 Feel them back roads turn and twist
 Seeing nothing but dust in your rear view?
 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
 It was long necks, long hair
 Wild eyed girls and rock 'n' roll
 Play the drum set on the dance floor
 Lighters held up for the encore
 Not one worry in that southern summer sky
 And we let that Freebird fly
 It was Freebird in a Firebird
 On the way up Hawthorne Road
 It was long necks, long hair
 Wild eyed girls and rock 'n' roll
 Play the drum set on the dance floor
 Lighters held up for the encore
 Not a worry in that southern summer sky
 And we let that Freebird fly
 Let that Freebird fly, fly on Freebird
