Love is Freedom
© 2012 Andy Harrison
Way back past the foothills
End of a dirt road
She grew up with 7 brothers
And a lawn never mowed
She would hide in the sage brush
From her Dad’s whiskey breath
Praying black crows were angels
And right would turn left
Chorus:
Love is freedom
Freedom is love
If they don’t feel like the same thing
Ain’t got what you’re thinkin’ of
Ain’t no contradiction
Ain’t no compromise
Love is freedom
All the rest lies
She broke free to the city
When she was 14
Changed her name and hair color
Reaching out for some dream
Worked the restaurants and night clubs
And the dive bars
Scraping quarters and dollars
Looking up towards the stars
Chorus:
Love is freedom
Freedom is love
If they don’t feel like the same thing
Ain’t got what you’re thinkin’ of
Ain’t no contradiction
Ain’t no compromise
Love is freedom
All the rest lies
She had her own little angel
When she was 28
They lived in a one bedroom
Over looking the lake
Rocking chair by the window
With the breeze blowing in
She took in a deep breath
Watched the new day begin
Chorus:
Love is freedom
Freedom is love
If they don’t feel like the same thing
Ain’t got what you’re thinkin’ of
Ain’t no contradiction
Ain’t no compromise
Love is freedom
All the rest lies
