Freedom Song Lyrics
Blackberry Smoke
Lyrics
That man in the mirror starin' back at me
ain't the man I used to see
I been walkin' the line a long time
I need a change
Breakin' my back workin' double shifts
the weight of the world's gettin' hard to lift
I'm startin' to think I need to break a link
in this chain
Somethin's got to give
this ain't no way to live
Put me on a highway
the interstate
a dirt road
to anyplace
as long as I'm long gone
chasin' down some blue skies
in my old truck
Tune the world out
Turn the radio up
Sing along to my freedom song
Well I got a good woman and she understands
every now and then her old man
needs some down time
to clear his mind and unplug
This time tomorrow you won't see my face
there'll be one less rat runnin' in this race
I'll be soothin' my soul with a fishin' pole
that's what I love
Put me on a highway
the interstate
a dirt road
to anyplace
as long as I'm long gone
chasin' down some blue skies
in my old truck
Tune the world out
Turn the radio up
Sing along to my freedom song
