I didn�t want to believe it
When I heard the news
Another old friend was gone
Those of us who loved him
All gathered around
And started singing those old sweet songs
With our backs to a Carolina wind
We watched a chapter come to an end

Chorus

There�s another free bird in the southern sky
Can�t you see he�s searching for a rainbow
The sky is crying can�t you hear them guitars moan
Another midnight rider has made the journey home

We were chased off that hillside by a driving rain
We scattered like ashes across the sea
But tears fall from heaven when the good die young
Some things are just meant to be
Like there was no tomorrow
That�s how he chose to live
He gave it all, there was nothing left to give

There�s another free bird in the southern sky
Can�t you see he�s looking for a rainbow
The sky is crying can�t you hear them guitars moan
Another midnight rider has made the journey home.
