Free - Beth Nielsen Chapman
Written by：Beth Nielsen Chapman/Harlan Howard
I had it tough when I was just a little kid
It didn't matter what
I thought it didn't matter what I did
I felt the doubt for what
I lacked right from the start
It did a number on my head
But it could never touch my heart
Cause I had just enough imagination
Just enough to keep the faith
That somehow I would think of what to do
When I'd get lost in a momentary
Weakness of emotion
All the angels came around to help me through
Life pulls fast changes
Wind blows past pages
All I see is I don't need this
Highstrung tight rope walks
Ticking time bomb clocks
Scratch my name off cut these chains
I'm free kicking out of that prison
I'm free singing those words of wisdom
Let it be
Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me
And in the stress to be the best I've done it all
I've slammed the doors I've jammed the locks
Laid the bricks I've built the walls
No one could tell me back then why joy eluded me
Kept bumping into that misery
Locked up deep down inside of me
Took that rage and I
Turned that page and I
Packed my tools went back to school
And I've passed my graduation
I hold my Ph D in crash test blues
I've paid those dues
I'm free kicking out of that prison
I'm free singing those words of wisdom
Let it be Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me
Time flies by in photographs
And paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers
Three taps takes me home I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free kicking out of that prison
I'm free singing those words of wisdom
Let it be Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me
I'm free kicking out of that prison
I'm free singing those words of wisdom
Let it be Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me
I'm free kicking out of that prison
I'm free singing those words of wisdom
Let it be Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me
