Lee Kernaghan - Freedom Road lyrics
[Lee Kernaghan - Freedom Road lyrics]
I guess everybody knew the way
The sergeant knocked her 'round
But he laid down the law
In that dusty cattle town
The front bar just fell silent
When she begged him please, no more
But no-one interfered when he slapped
Her to the ground
But a young man watched the sergeant leave
And knelt down by her side
And a lost love was re-kindled when
She held him in her eyes
And in that unexpected moment two
Hearts were takin' flight
As down that moonlit highway they
Spend into the night
Freedom road they're leaving
This towen behind
Freedom road there's no turning
Round this time
There's no way back when two worlds explode
There're somewhere out there on
That freedom road
They reached the three ways roadhouse took
The Barkley to the east
They'd head across to Queensland get a
Job out on the reef
Then in the rear view mirror they
Saw the sergeant close in behind
Their hearts were puonding harder as
They neared the border line
For the first time in her life there
Was a freedom in the wind
So when they saw the roadblock don't
Slow down she begged him
They rolled and then burst into flames
They didn't stand a chance
In the stillness of that ghostly dawn
They reached their promise land
The sergeant knocked her 'round
But he laid down the law
In that dusty cattle town
The front bar just fell silent
When she begged him please, no more
But no-one interfered when he slapped
Her to the ground
But a young man watched the sergeant leave
And knelt down by her side
And a lost love was re-kindled when
She held him in her eyes
And in that unexpected moment two
Hearts were takin' flight
As down that moonlit highway they
Spend into the night
Freedom road they're leaving
This towen behind
Freedom road there's no turning
Round this time
There's no way back when two worlds explode
There're somewhere out there on
That freedom road
They reached the three ways roadhouse took
The Barkley to the east
They'd head across to Queensland get a
Job out on the reef
Then in the rear view mirror they
Saw the sergeant close in behind
Their hearts were puonding harder as
They neared the border line
For the first time in her life there
Was a freedom in the wind
So when they saw the roadblock don't
Slow down she begged him
They rolled and then burst into flames
They didn't stand a chance
In the stillness of that ghostly dawn
They reached their promise land
