[Intro: original Holler Shakers riff] [Verse 1: Bubba, mature warm male] I used to rehearse the neighbors' talking Wonder what my family'd say If I left the bitter habits That I carried every day [Chorus: male Bubba, female Darlene harmonizes] I'm gonna walk out that door free Without a crowd deciding me I'll hear good counsel, hear what's true But I won't let fear choose what I do There is work and love ahead And no more prisons in my head [Verse 2: Darlene, expressive female] I worried that my children'd wonder Why their daddy learned to change Then I thought of what they'd gain from Seeing mercy in my ways [Bridge: two voices trade lines] Freedom isn't being careless Or turning from the ones I love It's a heart that won't be ruled by fear [Final Chorus: Bubba and Darlene with band] I'm gonna walk out that door free Without a crowd deciding me I'll hear good counsel, hear what's true But I won't let fear choose what I do There is work and love ahead And no more prisons in my head [Outro: instrumental turnaround and clean ending]
