She's a free-range bird

She's out there running wild

And she's acting quite absurd

She don't care what folks are saying

She's just going her own way

'Cause she's a free-range bird

You thought you'd brought your daughter up

To play by all your rules

You always bought her lots of stuff

And paid her fancy schools

You'd hoped your own reflection you

Would see in her someday

She's broken her connection to

The things you do and say

She's a free-range bird

She's out there running wild

And she's acting quite absurd

She don't care what folks are saying

She's just going her own way

'Cause she's a free-range bird

I s'pose I'd be contented to

Lay back and say "That's life!"

Except for that I courted her

And took her for my wife

I thought I had a happy home

I didn't have a clue

She's left me with three screaming gnomes

What is a boy to do?

She's a free-range bird

She's out there running wild

And she's acting quite absurd

She don't care what folks are saying

She's just going her own way

'Cause she's a free-range bird
