I’M FREE AS A BIRD
by Tim R. Holifield

THERE’S NO POINT IN PRETENDING
THIS LOVE OF OURS
DOESN’T NEED MENDING

IT FELL APART A LONG TIME AGO
THERE’S NOT MUCH LEFT TO SAY
SO, I’LL JUST BE ON MY WAY

I’M ON THE RED-EYE BOUND FOR NOWHERE
IT WAS TIME TO GET OUTTA THERE
I COULD TELL SHE REALLY DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, YES I AM
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, FREE TO FLY AWAY
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, AND ALL I CAN SAY
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN

WHERE-EVER THIS BIRD MAY LAND
REMAINS TO BE SEEN
NEXT TIME IT WON’T BE BETWEEN
A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME
JUST LOOK AT THE SMILE ON MY FACE

I’M ON THE RED-EYE BOUND FOR NOWHERE
IT WAS TIME TO GET OUTTA THERE
I COULD TELL SHE REALLY DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, YES I AM
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, FREE TO FLY AWAY
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, AND ALL I CAN SAY
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN

NOW WHEN I TOUCH DOWN
HOPEFULLY IN A SMALL TOWN
MAYBE A LOVE I WILL FIND
IF TIME WOULD BE SO KIND
TO SHOW ME A PLACE
THAT’LL PUT A SMILE
ON THIS LONELY OLD FACE

I’M ON THE RED-EYE BOUND FOR NOWHERE
IT WAS TIME TO GET OUTTA THERE
I COULD TELL SHE REALLY DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, YES I AM
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, FREE TO FLY AWAY
I’M FREE AS A BIRD, AND ALL I CAN SAY
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN

THERE’S NOT MUCH LEFT TO SAY
SO I’LL JUST BE ON MY WAY
