Livin' Free in Gatesville (Remastered)

[melodic country intro] [Verse 1] Out where the fields stretch far and wide, Left the city's shadows and the grind. Politicians, crooks, and all their kind. To find freedom in Gatesville’s countryside. [Verse 2] Crime and hatred runnin' through the streets, Couldn't feel my heart under all that heat. In these hills, there's a different beat, Livin' life where the air is sweet. [Chorus] I want the freedom to call my own. A simpler life where seeds are sown. Far from the noise and all the lies, In Gatesville, under open skies. [Verse 3] Concrete jungle never felt like home, Tradin' steel for a place to roam, Country roads, just me and my own, Livin' free, ain't a soul can stop me now. [Bridge] No more sirens or corrupt deceit, Just the sound of rain on a tin roof beat, Lost the anger, found retreat, In Gatesville where hearts and soil meet. [Chorus] I want the freedom to call my own, A simpler life where seeds are sown, Far from the noise and all the lies, In Gatesville, under open skies. [Verse 4] Walking past the courthouse, old and grand, Feel the spirit of this Texas land, Where neighbors lend a helping hand, Building dreams on God's command. [Verse 5] Tired of leaders with empty plans, Workin' the land with my own hands, Coryell’s beauty in the sun’s last stands, Freedom's song in this peaceful land. [Bridge] No more sirens or corrupt deceit, Just the sound of rain on a tin roof beat, Lost the anger, found retreat, In Gatesville where hearts and soil meet. [Chorus] I want the freedom to call my own, A simpler life where seeds are sown, Far from the noise and all the lies, In Gatesville, under open skies. [Outro] From the crowded streets to this peaceful town, Left the chaos, let my roots dig down, In Gatesville where love abounds, I’ve found my place, my homeward bound.
