Little Big Town - Firebird Fly lyrics

She was counting out her tips and staring at the clock When that jet black Pontiac slid into the parking lot He walked in with a greasy grin Said, "I'm needing something sweet" She said, "Man, that Trans Am's the sweetest thing I've seen" He said, "Honey let me take you for a ride" She said, "Only if you let me drive" Firebird fly, burn up the sky Wanna hear that engine crying Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast Screaming into the night and Leaving it all behind Firebird fly Stopped outside Phoenix for smokes and gasoline He said, "Keep that motor running and wait right here for me" She turned her head, smiled and said "I've been waiting all my life" Then she popped the clutch and in a cloud of dust She left him high and dry For the first time she could finally spread her wings Down the highway you could hear her sing Firebird fly, burn up the sky Wanna hear that engine crying Stomp on the gas gotta go fast Screaming into the night and Leaving it all behind
