Let It Be Free

[Intro]

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Sixteen years I held that gate shut tight

Rusted hinges screaming every single night

Told myself the fence was keeping me safe

But the fence was just a habit I could not outrun

Woke up Sunday with a wild idea in my chest

Packed a bag and left the rest

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama said boy you're gonna lose your way

I said maybe losing's how you find it

[Chorus]

Let it be free

Let it be free

Whatever's holding on has gotta let go of me

Let it be free

Let it be free

The rope I tied is burning through my hands

So I'm cutting it loose and taking my chances

Let it be free

[Verse 2]

Daddy built this town with calloused hands and pride

Wanted me to walk the very same road he'd ride

But every map he drew just led me back around

So I burned the map and headed for the county line

Truck stop coffee bitter on my tongue

Waving goodbye to everyone

[Pre-Chorus]

He said son you're gonna lose your way

I said maybe losing's how you find it

[Chorus]

Let it be free

Let it be free

Whatever's holding on has gotta let go of me

Let it be free

Let it be free

The rope I tied is burning through my hands

So I'm cutting it loose and taking my chances

Let it be free

[Bridge]

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know what I'll find

But a bird in a cage forgets how to fly

And I'd rather fall than never try

[Chorus]

Let it be free

Let it be free

Whatever's holding on has gotta let go of me

Let it be free

Let it be free

The rope I tied is burning through my hands

So I'm cutting it loose and taking my chances

Let it be free

[Outro]

Let it be free

Oh-oh

Let it be free

Mm-hmm

Let it be free
