Freedom Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 People always tell me their life story

2 Love they've lost, their taste of glory

3 He sat next to me at the counter in the diner

4 Said I used to be Wall Street but this is much finer

5 Oh yeah

6 He had a leather look on a steel horse Harley

7 And a dark-eyed girlfriend he called Charlie

8 He looked a little lost walkin' out the door

9 But I think I knew what he was lookin' for

10 Freedom, sweet freedom

11 I gassed 'er up, climbed back in my cab

12 To my wife I'm a husband, to my kids I'm a dad

13 To the credit card companies I'm just another sucker

14 To the IRS, a long-haul trucker

15 Mmmm yeah

16 Some say that freedom's the power to do what one pleases

17 You can live like the devil or hold on to Jesus

18 I found the one thing I was born to do

19 And girl that's why I'm runnin' back to you

20 Freedom, sweet freedom

21 He climbed up in my truck with his green duffel bag

22 I knew he was a soldier 'cause I saw his dog tags

23 We talked about it, we cried about it

24 Then a steel horse Harley came roarin' on past

25 I knew it was Charlie hangin' on real fast

26 We talked about it, we laughed about it

27 Through the joy and pain that living brings

28 Don't we all want the same thing

29 Freedom, sweet freedom

30 It's what the junkie needs that the needle can't give

31 The oppressed and forgotten are praying for it

32 It's what the brave and courageous are fightin' for

33 An open sail on a distant shore

34 Freedom
