Freedom

 

Freedom Lyrics

People always tell me their life story
Love they`ve lost, their taste of glory
He sat next to me at the counter in the diner
Said I used to be Wall Street but this is much finer
Oh yeah

He had a leather look on a steel horse Harley
And a dark-eyed girlfriend he called Charlie
He looked a little lost walkin` out the door
But I think I knew what he was lookin` for
Freedom, sweet freedom

I gassed `er up, climbed back in my cab
To my wife I`m a husband, to my kids I`m a dad
To the credit card companies I`m just another sucker
To the IRS, a long-haul trucker
Mmmm yeah

Some say that freedom`s the power to do what one pleases
You can live like the devil or hold on to Jesus
I found the one thing I was born to do
And girl that`s why I`m runnin` back to you
Freedom, sweet freedom

He climbed up in my truck with his green duffel bag
I knew he was a soldier `cause I saw his dog tags
We talked about it, we cried about it

Then a steel horse Harley came roarin` on past
I knew it was Charlie hangin` on real fast
We talked about it, we laughed about it

Through the joy and pain that living brings
Don`t we all want the same thing
Freedom, sweet freedom

It`s what the junkie needs that the needle can`t give
The oppressed and forgotten are praying for it
It`s what the brave and courageous are fightin` for
An open sail on a distant shore
Freedom
