Free Aint Free - Drivin N Cryin

Her husband died in 1985

He worked at General Motors off 285

He saved their money and they bought a home

Lived there for twenty years or so

Now she’s free of the past, free of the grief

Free to live her life in peace

But the man next door, he built a house

And the man next door, he built a house

And now, like us, she’s upside down

Free ain’t free, baby, don’t you know

Free ain’t free, baby, don’t let go

Free ain’t free, free aren’t free

Free ain’t free, don’t you see

Welcome to the Land of the Free

Where the buffaloes roam and the antelope leap

Free to think, free to write

Free to protest, free to unite

Free to be you and me (Remember that?)

Free to see what I want to see

But somehow I always pay the price

Free ain’t free, baby, don’t you lie

Free ain’t free, baby, don’t you know

Free ain’t free if you try to let go

Free ain’t free, baby, don’t you lie

Free ain’t free, why are you surprised

Free ain’t free, free ain’t free

Free ain’t free

Free ain’t free to me

Free ain’t free to live

Free ain’t free to see

Free ain’t free to me

Ah you gotta be

Free ain’t free

Free ain’t free (Free)

Free ain’t free (Free)

Free ain’t free (Free)

Free ain’t free (Free)

Free ain’t free (Free)

Free ain’t free

Free ain’t free
