Doesn't seem that long ago

Three of us walkin' down that road

Grey '55 Chevy parked in the front yard

Little Melody tagged along

Those were the best days now they're gone

Oh it's been twelve years since it went down

Lord, lost my best friend now

I can still see him fishin' on that old dock

I know I can't bring back yesterday

But oh Lord can't you help me find my way





Down to brickyard road

Oh, walk on down

Down to brickyard road

He's with me now

Swore I saw a Free Bird fly

Ridin' the winds of a Southern sky

When I hear that whistle blow

It carries me back

To brickyard road





Brother, do you realize what you've done?

Touched the hearts of everyone

You might've died too young

But your songs live on

I know I can't bring back yesterday

But we'll be all together again some day





Down on brickyard road

Oh, walk on down

Down to brickyard road

He's with me now

Swore I saw a Free Bird fly

Ridin' the winds of a Southern sky

When I hear that whistle blow

It carries me back

To brickyard road





I can see him standin' on the dock

His old chevy out in the front yard

Walk on down, walk on down





Momma and Daddy's doin' all right

I saw Melody last Saturday night

She's all grown up, she's such a pretty girl

Things just ain't the same since you left our world





Oh, brickyard road

Hear me now

I can see him, down on brickyard road



Swore I saw a Free Bird fly

Ridin' the winds of a Southern sky

And when I hear that whistle blow

It carries me back

To brickyard road

Oh, brickyard road

Oh, brickyard road

Wanna go back

To brickyard road
