lyrics

Obviously you've had a bit too much to drink
Your I.Q. has started to sink
Must be the Bud Light talking
I have written some songs
And I thought that they ought to be heard
But your mis-fashioned mullet popped in just to shout "Freebird!"
So if I played you your Freebird
Would you buy my CD?
Well I don't think so, that's why you won't hear that shit from me
And I if I played you your Freebird
Would you drown in your beer?
Or go watch wrestling, pick fights or hunt for deer?
I've got your Freebird right here
Obviously you didn't make it past the 7th grade
Your ideals started to fade when you knocked up sis
(You shouldn't touch sis)
Hey Clem, I hate to break the news
But Kid Rock REALLY sucks
So do Chevy trucks and yeah, Ford's too
A doobie doo doo
If I played you your Freebird
Would it take you back to the day
When girls still talked to you and Kiss still had something to say?
And If I played you your Freebird
Would you finally lend me an ear?
Well I don't think so, so call me puss rock, call me queer
I've got your Freebird right here.
Won't cut your lawn when NASCAR is on
I think your house may have a flat tire
(Ass)
If I played you your Freebird
Would you buy my CD?
Well I don't think so, that's why you won't hear that shit from me
Would you finally lend me an ear?
Well I don't think so, so call me puss rock, call me queer
I've got your Freebird right here

Jeremy Facknitz Colorado

Jeremy Facknitz' style, continuously optimistic despite past battles with depression and alcoholism, epitomizes the strength of such confessional greats as Jim Croce and Gordon Lightfoot, with an obvious wink to Michael Penn in the chord changes, a nod to Radiohead in the rule-breaking, and an appreciation for melody and structure that would make Elvis Costello feel the torch had been passed. ... more
