If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me

For I must be travelin' on now

There's too many places I got to see



[Chorus]



And if I stay here with you boy

Things just couldn't be the same

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now

And this bird you cannot change

And this bird you cannot change

And this bird you cannot change

Lord knows, I can't change



Bye and bye baby it's been a sweet love

Oh this feelin' I can't change

Please don't take it so badly

Lord knows, I'm to blame



And if I stay here with you boy

Things just couldn't be the same

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now

And this bird you cannot change

And this bird you cannot change

And this bird you cannot change

Lord knows, I can't change

Lord help me, I can't change

Lord, I can't change

So won't you fly high free bird
