Words and Music by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant
If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me For I must be travelin' on now There's too many places I got to see
(Chorus)
And if I stay here with you boy Things just couldn't be the same 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change Lord knows, I can't change
Bye and bye baby it's been a sweet love Oh this feelin' I can't change Please don't take it so badly Lord knows, I'm to blame
And if I stay here with you boy Things just couldn't be the same 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change Lord knows, I can't change Lord help me, I can't change Lord, I can't change So won't you fly high free bird
