Low Down Freedom

Longhaired young girl, here beside me

Fittin' my body, warm my mind

Sleeping quiet, never knowin'

That tomorrow should be one more thing I'm gonna leave behind

Like them big wheels, I'll be rolling

Like them rivers, I'm gonna flow to sea

'Cause I'd rather leave here knowing

That I made a fool of love before I made a fool of me

Low down freedom, you done cost me

Everything I'd ever lose

You're as empty as my pockets

From the top of where you start down to the bottom of my shoes

Open highway, lonesome windblow

Tell me something I don't know

Wrap them woman's arms around me

Tell me why I'm gonna be where I don't really want to go

Low down freedom, you done cost me

Everything I'd ever lose

You're as empty as my pockets

And you're colder than the water that keeps runnin' down my shoes
