Bird Of Freedom
Where were you
When the plane went down
When the president was born
When they founded this town
She was standin' out back
She could hardly hear the band
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
Have you seen
The parade in her eye?
Hungry and hot
Like the fourth of July
What is it about her
That you don't understand?
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, boys
As she waves and she gets small
With those sweet wings that beat
Those sweet wings at night
All those sweet wings by hand
It ain't no choice at all
Are you cool and dry?
Are you keeping warm?
Shadowboxing
This thunderstorm
Write me and tell me
Where we fit in what is planned
Me and my bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
When the plane went down
When the president was born
When they founded this town
She was standin' out back
She could hardly hear the band
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
Have you seen
The parade in her eye?
Hungry and hot
Like the fourth of July
What is it about her
That you don't understand?
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, boys
As she waves and she gets small
With those sweet wings that beat
Those sweet wings at night
All those sweet wings by hand
It ain't no choice at all
Are you cool and dry?
Are you keeping warm?
Shadowboxing
This thunderstorm
Write me and tell me
Where we fit in what is planned
Me and my bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
