Wynonna Judd - Free Bird Lyrics






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

  1. C.... H....

    I love her voice. I don't normally listen to the song part of Free Bird, I tend to just skip to the fast part. I'm picky to a fault about slow music. But her, I'll listen to her sing it. She makes this work for me.

    Frick'n amazing set of "Pipes" on that wonderful Gal!!! We just got back from seeing Wynonna and her AWESOME BAND - with Cactus @ the helm producing producing producing so damn well, at the Walhalla PAC in Walhalla South Carolina. 446 people seated, and we were treated to channeling Wynonna's inner old school self, totaly Zoey cool. She was so cute!!! Best concert of the year + by far! GREAT Audience, even better with a Happy Wynonna on Stage!!! GREAT NIGHT!

    If I leave here tomorrow
    Would you still remember me?
    For I must be traveling on, now
    Cause there's too many places I've got to see
    But, if I stayed here with you, girl
    Things just couldn't be the same
    Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird you can not change
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    But please don't take it so badly
    Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
    But, if I stayed here with you, girl
    Things just couldn't be the same
    Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird you'll never change
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    And this bird you can not change
    And this bird you can not change

  44. r.... ....

    That is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Never was a voice so perfect for a song.

  45. D.... F....

    That lady could sing the phone book and make it work

  46. A.... A....

    I read in the liner notes of Skynyrd's Frynds tribute album she really didn't want to sing it she said it would be like doing white Christmas by Bing Crosby but original guitarist Gary Rossington convinced her too I think she pulled it off we use to own a couch her &her mom Sat &sang on at Randy Owens sisres house for the only televised June jam we bought it from his sister but my step dad sold it I still remember the song they sang on it grandpa,I love her voice- Skynyrd Nation

  47. a.... l....

    I want this played at my funeral

    a.... l....

    me too lol

  48. H.... S....

    Big fan of Wynonna.

  49. j.... ....

    I wish she would do an all southern rock/classic rock/blues-rock album, where her big, rapsy and husky voice could belt over lots of electric guitar and Hammond B3 solos.

  50. m.... ....

    Her voice really works with the music on this...but then she's been doing this for a billion years, so she should know which tunes work. She could have used her voice in just about any genre she wanted to. I love the fact that she really chose not to have a particular genre, simply sang the songs and worked on the projects that truly drew her heart and soul into them. great cover. still love the original too - but not many female artists could really pull this off.........and her bands have always been great...hard not to get hooked on that guitar work though :)

    m.... ....

    +mistybabybear Well said.

  51. G.... T....

    My all time favorite piece of music ever, this version blows my mind everytime I listen to it, which has been since it was released on the album :)

  52. D.... H....

    Super , Super Job WY. Some kind of BAND backing HER !!!!  Wow..................!

  53. C.... ....

    Amazing guitar tone..

  54. s.... s....

    one of my all time favorite cover that wynnona sings and her voice has just a fullness and awesome range that really makes this song. it is awesome!!

  55. A.... C....

    Wynonna is a country/rock goddess! this is even better than the original! 

    A.... C....

    gellsfrost

    Ease down big shifter! There's not a remake that can touch this original! Although, this is very well done!

    A.... C....

    Go take your medicine.

    A.... C....

    Never better never but best cover

  56. m.... c....

    excellent female cover!

    m.... c....

    magna carta I've always wanted to hear a strong female sing this. So empowering!

  57. C.... N....

    2 people are idiots this is the best remake anywhere

    C.... N....

    OIL YOUR TIN EAR OFTEN, IT MIGHT RUST.

  58. C.... V....

    wow, van zant like it \m/

  59. C.... K....

    Oh My Gosh!!!  I have never heard this till now.  Wynonna rocks!!!!!  She is amazing!!!!!!

    C.... K....

    @Christy Kunkle Its on her Revelations cd & also on the Lynyrd Skynyrd "Friends" cd which is also a great cd. Hank Williams Jr. sang the Skynyrd song Tuesday's Gone shortly after his girlfriend died. I think it was in a car wreck & no one knew if He would take part in the cd but He did, & He did the song justice much like Wy did here. There's also allot of other bands that took part on the Friends cd I have both of em & both are some great music. If ya don't have em, you owe it to yourself to check em out. You'll be glad ya did. And your welcome. lol

    C.... K....

    SHE IS STUNNING!!

  60. J.... S....

    OMG she sings this soooo sweet the guitars just bring tears to my eyes

  61. B.... M....

    The Angel's here you Wynonna . This band and sound can really lift you up . I didn't think I could love this song anymore than I did , but I heard this version from you in 1999 or 2000 I can't remember but it's good .

  62. i.... ....

    HQ Audio?!?! 128Kbps begs to differ. Decent cover tho

  63. B.... H....

    That solo and that voice don't sound right together. Sound fucking amazing together though, Ill tell you that.

  64. J.... F....

    GREAT! Even better than Lynard Skynard!!!!!!!!

    J.... F....

    +Joy Flowers it's lynyrd skynyrd

  65. C.... M....

    I did, too. Phenomenal!! It was in Johnson City, TN on May 23, 1996. She was 8 months pregnant with her daughter Grace.That was one hell of a show!! The opening act was Blackhawk!

  66. n.... o....

    RONNY WOULD BE PROUD!!

  67. j.... l....

    wynonna kicks ass on this song! you go girl!

  68. M.... I....

  69. U.... C....

    Oh my goodness...AWESOME cover of a great song!

  70. J.... D....

    Very good cover, may be the best. But does not top the original.

    J.... D....

    I dare not think Wynonna ever intended to top the original rather to sing it's praises!

  71. E.... o....

    I've loved Wynonna's voice since the very first time I heard her! LOVE this cover!!!

  72. j.... ....

    I was lucky enough to see this amazing singer live ^_^ She is the best singer ever.
