A Different Kind of Freedom Lyrics

The sun come up like a fireball

I get on my Mustang bike

Sandwiches and a fishing rod

Wind in my hair in the morning light

I pedal hard past the old graveyard

Thinkin' 'bout skipping school

And be back before dinner's done

Is about the only rule

A different kind of freedom

Different kind of time

I did not know where the road would go

Or what I would find

Different kind of freedom, different state of mind

I did not know the road ahead, but I got there every time

Oh, tackle football at recess

Where every kid's a sweaty mess

Got in fights once in a while

Lost them all by a punch drunk mile

Summer holidays seemed to last for years

But years they do go by

And when you've got your own kids, man

They really start to fly

A different kind of freedom, different kind of time

Did not know where the road would go

Or what I would find

Different kind of freedom

Different state of mind

Did not know the road ahead but I got there every time

Oh, freedom

A long lost dream

Still don't know where I am going

But I know where I have been, and I've been loved

I've been loved

I've been loved

Mama died on Father's Day and my dear old dad's long gone

Of all the friends I had back then I'm still in love with one

Tell me all the hell I raised and dumb's no alibi

Shake my head and I laugh out loud but there's a tear in my eye

A different kind of freedom

Different kind of time

I did not know where the road would go

But I got there every time

Different kind of freedom

Different kind of fail

I know it wasn't perfect then

But I lived to tell the tale

Different kind of freedom, different kind of time

I did not know where the road would go

Or what I would find

Different kind of freedom, different kind of time

I did not know the road ahead but I got there every time

Oh, freedom
