Little Big Town - Firebird Fly lyrics

She was counting out her tips and staring at the clock

When that jet black Pontiac slid into the parking lot

He walked in with a greasy grin said, "I'm needing something sweet"

And she said, "Man, that Trans-Am's the sweetest thing I've seen

He said, "Honey, let me take you for a ride"

She said, "Only if you let me drive"

Firebird fly, burn up the sky, wanna hear that engine crying

Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast, screaming into the night and

Leaving it all behind

Firebird fly, firebird fly

Stopped outside of Phoenix for some smokes and gasoline

He said, "Keep that motor running and wait right here for me?

She turned her head, smiled and said, "I've been waiting all my life"

Then she popped the clutch and in a cloud of dust she left him high and dry

For the first time she could finally spread her wings

Down the highway, yeah, you could hear her sing

Firebird fly, burn up the sky, wanna hear that engine crying

Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast, screaming into the night and

Leaving it all behind

Firebird fly, firebird fly

Firebird fly, burn up the sky, wanna hear that engine crying

Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast, screaming into the night and

Firebird fly, burn up the sky, wanna hear that engine crying

Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast, screaming into the night and

Leaving it all behind, leaving it all behind

Firebird fly, firebird fly

Firebird fly, firebird fly
