�Young girl on a highwayStranded in the snowDecember, South of ClevelandOhioI'm stopping out of pityFor a stranger I don't knowJust a young girl on a highwayLike me so long agoI check my rearview mirrorAnd I'm taken by surpriseBy a silver studded strand of hairIn the veins around my eyesOh, my eyesShe's frail but she's handsomeShe's nineteen or soDropping out of AntiochAnd drifting like the snowOn her way to BostonTo make dinner for some friendsGets to where I'm off to nextShe said, IndiaOh, like the wind I'm off and runningLove there is no raceI saw a silver studded diamond peelAnd a smile upon her faceOh, her faceIt saidCome with me, go with meWe will be free birds againSee, just like meWe will be free birdsAnd when you fly there's no timeOnly your wings and you're freeShe speaks of her adventuresAlaska and the iceWhile Barry's on a doorstepIn springtime paradiseI'm off to the cityTo a window shop downtownI make a lot of moneyLike a slave it ties you downBut the spirit right beside meShe's off to see the worldMy silver studded memoryLongs to be just like this girlOh, like this girlShe saysCome with me, go with meWe will be free birds againYou'll see, just like meWe will be free birdsAnd when you fly there's no timeOnly your wings and you're freeMy three bird generationHas come and goneWhat's left behindBut one young girl on a highwayThe last berry on the vineOur lost forgotten causesLie deep within her eyesWhile berries grow on doorstepsThere in paradiseAnd I look into the gardenI see myself upon that vineI see silver studded dew fallsOn berries lost in timeLost in timeCome with me, go with meWe will be free birds againYou'll see, just like meWe will be free birdsAnd when you fly there's no timeOnly your wings and you're free*
