Freebird Child
"Written and dedicated to the memory of my dad" - Tammy

Every moment I remember
Thought those days would last forever
Then one night my strength fell from the sky
I can hear your voice beside me
I know it's there to lead and guide me
Give everything just to see you one more time.
Chorus:
Where you goin' Freebird Child?
Riding on the southwind over magnolias growing wild
Trying to find your place to land among the stars
Live to dream my Freebird Child
So many nights so cold and lonely
Sometimes I dream that you still hold me
I loved it when you sang for me my song
Through the years, the words the music
Life's so torn and so confusing
I know your heart, your love in me lives on
Where you goin' Freebird Child?
Riding on the southwind over magnolias growing wild
Trying to find your place to land among the stars
Live to dream my Freebird Child
Solo/Interlude
Where you goin' Freebird Child?
Riding on the southwind over magnolias growing wild
Trying to find your place to land among the stars
Live to dream my Freebird Child
I'll always be your Freebird Child
Fly so free . . . Keep the dream
Freebird Child . . . Daddy I'll always be
Surviving on a Wing and a Prayer
Tammy's song of faith and encouragement dedicated to all women who are struggling through the trials and hardships of their lives. "I've been there! Never give up and always keep the faith." Tammy
Tammy Van Zant; Robert White Johnson/Radioquest Music Publishing, BMI; Janette Hill
Faith and hope, well they aren't small
and there's one love we can count on
To get us through it all
So we don't fall
White picket fences, what all girls dream
Life is never so easy
Or what it seems
Still I believe
Chorus:
Surviving on a wing and a prayer
Like a feather floating up in the air
Fame or diamonds, I don't care
I'm a simple girl, in a crazy world
With a simple plan
Surviving on a wing and a prayer
Well there's just one answer to carry me through
When my whole world seems to come apart
I can count on you
You're what I hold onto
I'll sing out your name, ride upon your wings
Cause in my heart and in my soul
You are everything
Lord, you are everything
(repeat chorus)

"Dedicated to the memory of my wonderful Grandmother, Sister Van Zant. She always took care of everybody. She never knew a stranger." - Tammy

On a porch swing
On a Sunday afternoon
She would share a story or two
A tear at a time
And she would listen
To every word that you would say
Then tell me everything would be OK
No matter the storm
She said "the struggle only makes you strong"
Sometimes she'd tell me 'bout it with a song
My Dixie Rose
My heart and my soul
Brighter than the sunshine
Made everything all right
And now heaven knows
My Dixie Rose
She would hold me
So deep within her loving arms
I'd never be afraid of the dark
I was never alone
I know that someday on the other side
I'm gonna tell her how she changed my life
My Dixie Rose
I'm missin' you so
I wish you were here
You made heaven seem near
Your love only grows
My Dixie Rose
My heart and my soul
Brighter than sunshine
Made everything all right
Now heaven know
My Dixie Rose
Now there's a porch swing
Swayin' empty in the sun
Sometimes I'll hear your voice and start to run
Well I'll see you someday
My Dixie Rose
My heart and my soul
Brighter than sunshine
Made everything all right
And now heaven knows
My Dixie Rose
