    Here's the Lyrics:
    If I leave here tomorrow
    Would you still remember me?
    For I must be travelling on, now,
    Cause there's too many places Ive got to see.
    But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
    Things just couldn't be the same.
    Cause Im as free as a bird now,
    And this bird you can not change.
    Lord knows, I can't change.

    Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
    Though this feeling I can't change.
    But please don't take it badly,
    Cause lord knows Im to blame.
    But, if I stayed here with you girl,
    Things just couldn't be the same.
    Cause Im as free as a bird now,
    And this bird you'll never change.
    And this bird you can not change.
    Lord knows, I can't change.
    Lord help me, I can't change.

    The lyrics are about a man explaining to a girl why he can't settle down and make a commitment. The opening verse, "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" was inspired by Allen Collins' girlfriend who had asked him this very question during a fight.

    I think it's about death. Something changes because he says "I'm as free as a bird now" as if he has just become free. He also says "I must be traveling on now" indicating that it is not a choice.

    I thought he liked his freedom and she can't change that. When he did leave he was again a Freebird?
    Here's some other opinions:

    Still makes me think of death. That's what's great about music - we can all interpret it in our own way.
