[Verse 1] I kept the key in my sock drawer Under old bills and dust Every door in this house said Stay small, stay where you are, stay shut Mama said, "Boy, don't shake that frame" But my hands had other plans I could hear the road calling my name Like a train through the factory land [Pre-Chorus] I want the wind in my teeth I want my own front seat I want the whole sky wide And a life that fits me [Chorus] Freedom, freedom Call my name out loud Freedom, freedom Break me out, break me out I was born for the open I was born for the sound Freedom, freedom Take me out, take me out [Verse 2] I left a note on the counter Said I’ll come back when I can No more sleeping in that shadow No more biting my own hand I got dirt on my boots now And a map folded bad in half If the past comes looking for me It can meet me on the path [Pre-Chorus] I want the wind in my teeth I want my own front seat I want the whole sky wide And a life that fits me [Chorus] Freedom, freedom Call my name out loud Freedom, freedom Break me out, break me out I was born for the open I was born for the sound Freedom, freedom Take me out, take me out [Bridge] Let the old chain rattle Let the porch light fade I’m done being careful I’m done being made afraid If I fall, I fall forward If I burn, I burn bright I’m not asking for mercy I’m asking for my life [Final Chorus] Freedom, freedom Call my name out loud Freedom, freedom Break me out, break me out I was born for the open I was born for the sound Freedom, freedom Take me out, take me out Freedom, freedom I’m not looking back Freedom, freedom I want all of that
