Here's the lyrics from Orbiting Lights, the new Firefly site under the Chosen Two banner ( http://www.chosentwo.com/firefly)
Take my love
Take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care if I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
Have no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me
All credit goes to Joss and the good people at the Chosen Two network of Joss sites.
Hmm...what should my signiture be?

Joss needs to stop with the song writing. I liked the Buffy musical as much as the next person, but the Firefly theme song is perhaps the hokiest thing I've heard since that country song about the guy that just wanted to make sure his dog got fed. You know the one? Yeah, hokier than that. Of course, knowing me, it'll get stuck in my head thanks to repeated viewings and I'll grow to love the damn thing. Joss is so evil.

The theme tune even has a banjo and fiddle! It's country through and through. Which is ironic since Joss Whedon was once said, “country music is the music of pain” Welp! it doesn’t come much more painful than this!
I think the lyrics basically mean, ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but I’ve got a kick ass spaceship!’
Personally, I would have preferred the tune from Rawhide with the lyrics, 'Flyin’, flyin’, flyin’, Break from the Alliance, Keep them engines runnin’, Firefly...'
Oki, I've had too much wine

For some reason I think its "Tell my ma I aint comin back" or "Tell em all I aint comin back"

Actually, I think the theme song is very good. It ties the two genres the show is playing with, lifting off from the proverbial lonesome prarie into the final frontier. It's no Zebra Dunn, but it's not too terrible an attempt at the Cowboy genre.

I love the theme song. My guess on the title is
" You can't take the sky from me. "
When I saw the first episode I thought that this was very much like a post civil war western, such as, "The Outlaw Josie Wales".
Good actors, interesting concept, fabulous theme.
I'll keep watching.

You know, it's probably just called "Firefly Theme." Like the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Theme" or "Angel Theme."

Its more blues than country, it doesn`t have that annoying twang.

It's not exactly my sort of music, but it's a catchy little tune. i put it on my little tape with Buffy the Musical stuff... and I can't stop listening it.
