  • 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 Writer/s: Artimus Pyle, Billy Cyrus, Ed King
