Tift Merritt - Bird of Freedom lyrics

Where were you ?

When the plane went down

When the president was born

When they founded this town

She was standing out back

She could hardly hear the band

My bird of freedom

With a gun in her hand

Have you seen

The parade in her eye

Hungry & hot

Like the fourth of July

What is it about her

That you don't under stand

My bird of freedom

With a gun in her hand

My bird of freedom

With a gun in her hand

Don't look back now guys

As she waves and she gets small

With those sweet wings that beat

Those sweet wings at night

It ain't no choice at all

Are you cool and dry

Are you keeping warm

Shadow boxing

This thunder storm

Write me and tell me

Where we fit in what is planned

My bird of freedom

With a gun in her hand

My bird of freedom

With a gun in her hand
