[Verse 1]
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 crazy grin, said, "I'm needing something sweet"
And she said, "Man, that Trans Am's the sweetest thing I've seen"
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "Honey, let me take you for a ride"
She said, "Only if you'll let me drive"
[Chorus]
Firebird, fly, burn up the sky
Wanna hear that engine crying
Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast
Screaming into the night and
[Post-Chorus]
Leaving it all behind
Firebird, fly
Firebird, fly
[Verse 2]
Stopped outside of Phoenix for some smokes and gasoline
He said, "Keep that motor running and wait right here for me"
She turned her head and 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
[Pre-Chorus]
For the first time, she could finally spread her wings
Down the highway, yeah, you could hear her sing
[Chorus]
Firebird, fly, burn up the sky
Wanna hear that engine crying
Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast
Screaming into the night and
[Post-Chorus]
Leaving it all behind
Firebird, fly
Firebird, fly
[Instrumental Break]
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
Firebird, fly, burn up the sky
Wanna hear that engine crying
Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast
Screaming into the night and
Firebird, fly, burn up the sky
Wanna hear that engine crying
Stomp on the gas, gotta go fast
Screaming into the night and
[Post-Chorus]
Leaving it all behind
Leaving it all behind
Firebird, fly
Firebird, fly
Firebird, fly
Firebird, fly
