| I’m no stranger to the thick smoke of a bar
|
| And heart chained to a bottle of whiskey
|
| And I’ve held strangers in my arms
|
| To pull apart the bars because I couldn’t find the key
|
| I’ve searched high and low
|
| Been to Hell and back
|
| Been a prisoner to my soul
|
| And all I know is that
|
| The price of being free
|
| It don’t come cheap
|
| That’s why people fight for it, rise for it
|
| Burn up the night for it
|
| Cry for it, pine for it
|
| Cross rivers wide for it
|
| Once you’ve held the truth
|
| There’s nothin' you won’t do
|
| And when I look into your eyes
|
| I know why people died for it
|
| Freedom, loving you feels like freedom
|
| You’re the red, the white, the blue
|
| The stars that cover the scars
|
| When we broke the shackles
|
| And I’ve never been to war before
|
| But your boots there on the floor
|
| Are proof that I’ve won the battle
|
| And all you had to give to me
|
| Was the gift of being free
|
| That’s why people fight for it, rise for it
|
| Burn up the night for it
|
| Cry for it, pine for it
|
| Cross rivers wide for it
|
| Once you’ve held the truth
|
| There’s nothing you won’t do
|
| And when I look into your eyes
|
| I know why people died for it
|
| Freedom, loving you feels like freedom
|
| I’ve searched high and low
|
| Been to Hell and back
|
| Been a prisoner to my soul
|
| And all I know is that
|
| The price of being free
|
| It don’t come cheap
|
| That’s why people fight for it, rise for it
|
| Burn up the night for it
|
| Cry for it, pine for it
|
| Cross rivers wide for it
|
| Once you’ve held the truth
|
| There’s nothing you won’t do
|
| And when I look into your eyes
|
| I know why people died for it
|
| Freedom, loving you feels like freedom
|
| Oh, freedom, loving you feels like freedom
|
| Freedom, loving you feels like freedom |
