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
