lyrics
Give my best to momma, you know I’ll miss her
Kiss her goodbye for me
I’m heading out of town
I’ve heard that there are mountains beyond mountains
Purple giants smiling with cloudy crowns
Freedom is a long road with the apple of your eye
It’s a warm lavender sky above your head
Freedom means that all through thick and thin
You can love the shoes you’re standing in
Drive through mississippi in the morning, mourning something lost there
We walk the empty streets
I think progress had to leave here, couldn’t be here anymore
It took a train back east
Freedom is a long road with the chance to say hello
And the choice to say goodbye, all the same
Freedom means that all through thick and thin
You can keep the shoes you’re standing in
Maybe highways
Are like airways
For the runaways like me
Oh my country
Won’t you see me
I feel empty
I’m running on empty
Made it to the valley, watched the sunrise
Tired eyes wild but open
I swear I thought of you
Momma, sunshine looks the same here
But I came here for something new
Maybe you will too
Freedom is a long road from the place where all is lost
To the place where lost are welcome to be found
Freedom means that all through thick and thin
You stand tall in shoes you’re standing in
