lyrics

To Be Free

Took to the road to take a chance
Caught her eye and asked to dance
It turned out as you’d expect it be
That careless girl she fell for me

She fell in love with a version tamed
Domestic-bred, subdued and lame
But I could never hold that flame
So off I went into the rain

To be free
To be free

I’ve traded all my college clothes
My desert rags and withered rose
If only for another way
To feel the way that I did that day

But nothing works and nothing fits
I’ve burst a seam, I’ve lost a stitch
I’m ready to move on again
I’m ready to move with the wind

To be free
To be free

So that’s my tale that’s my excuse
To being this man of little use
Perhaps someday I’ll settle down
Perhaps someday but that’s not now

Now I’m free
Now I’m free

Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
