L. A. (just a memory)

Somewhere between the Ocmulgee and Tallapoosa
My mind slips away back beyond yesterday
A dew with some jack
A tee top chevy a Skynyrd eight track
Play it pretty for Atlanta always takes me back
 
I still feel the sun shining on your face
Making memories that time can't erase
We drove that chevy into the night
Passing through jukin city  
like on an airplane flight
 
Still drink my dew with some jack
With every sip it takes me back
Time drifted us apart  
now my grandkids fill my heart  
So many years have passed by
but you still fall from my eye
You lost my last name  
a bird I couldn't change
free bird you'll always be....... to me
 
Playing tracks 2 and 3 over and over  
for what seemed like an eternity
Your simple man was all I ever wanted to be
Time gave me a life without you  
it been simple and true but somehow I always knew
Like with the wind Tuesday gone  
all that left is a memory and this song.  
 
Still drink my dew with some jack
With every sip it takes me back
Time drifted us apart  
now my grandkids fill my heart  
So many years have passed  
by but you still fall from my eye
You lost my last name  
a bird I couldn't change
free bird you'll always be....... to me 
 
Free bird you'll always be
