Lyrics

If I leave here tomorrow,

Would you still remember me?

For I must be travelling on now.

'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

If I stay here with you girl.

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now.

And this bird you cannot change, oh oh oh oh

And this bird you cannot change.

Lord knows I can't change.

Bye bye baby, it's been sweet love, yeah, yeah.

Though this feeling I can't change.

Please don't take it so badly,

'Cause the lord knows I'm to blame.

And if I stay here with you girl,

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now.

And this bird you cannot change oh oh oh oh

And this bird you cannot change.

Lord knows I can't change.

Lord help me, I can't change.

Lord I can't change.

Won't you fly high, oh free bird, yeah.

This song began as a ballad without the guitar solos at the end, and Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded it that way for the first time in 1972. Guitarist Allen Collins had been working on the song on and off for the previous 2 years. At the time of recording, the song was only 7 1/2 minutes long, but throughout the next year, Collins continued to refine the song until it was recorded for the final cut of Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd in 1973.
