The Freebird Fell

I was just a teenage boy on my way to school
 Mama mad at me for me 'cause I turned on the news
 Details still uncertain as I put on my shoes
 Wasn't sure what happened but I knew I had the blues.
 Cause that's the day the freebird fell
 Oh, I remember it well
 So many cried when Ronnie died
 He never said farewell
 What he'd say in a southern song
 Stories told still here long
 The day the freebird fell.
 ♪
 Pulled myself together and I went on my way
 Missed the bus on purpose so I could walk that day
 Tuesday's Gone and Simple Man Play on in my mind
 Sweet Home Alabama, Curtis Loew and One More Time
 'Cause that's the day the freebird fell
 Oh, I remember it well
 So many cried when Ronnie died
 He never said farewell
 What he'd say in a southern song
 Stories told still here long
 The day the freebird fell.
 Freebird fell
 Freebird fell, mmmm.
 ♪
 Many years have come and gone, a lot of things have changed
 Father time has passed me by one thing stayed the same
 When I'm feeling lonely, when I'm feeling blue
 I crank up some of that good ol' honkey, Lord I think of you.
 Back to the day the freebird fell
 Oh, I remember it well
 So many cried when Ronnie died
 He never said farewell
 What he'd say in a southern song
 Stories told still here long
 The day the freebird fell.
 Freebird fell
 Gimme three steps, you got that right
 Oooo that smell
 Simple man was comin' home
 The day the freebird fell.
 I was just a teenage boy on my way to school...
