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
