Freebird In A Firebird Lyrics - I Loved Her First - Heartland

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
