2 Days In the Valley movie - Free World lyrics

<br>

Music & Lyrics by Martin Sexton <br>

I've been stemmin' for change and singing in these streets now <br>

Long as I care to recall <br>

The dank little lounge room in the Roosevelt hotel <br>

My idea of a holiday <br>

Every once in a while <br>

A little old light shines through my tunnel <br>

So I follow it like a moth flies to the flame. <br>

<br>

And just when I think I got my world by the balls <br>

I find I'm dancin' in the light again <br>

Dancing in the light <br>

Of a speeding freight train <br>

Singing it's hard <br>

Living in the free world <br>

Getting saved by the bell <br>

People find my company <br>

To be strange as hell <br>

<br>

Looking back on aspirations and dreams <br>

My father he had in mind for me <br>

Moon lights the tracks and broken glass as I recall <br>

Those plans I left so far behind <br>

And I know it's better off he never saw me this way <br>

He always told me don't let the devil have his due <br>

And I know my father would turn over in his grave <br>

<br>

To see me hog tied to the chain <br>

Or dancing in the light <br>

Of a speeding freight train <br>

<br>

Singing it's hard <br>

Living in the free world <br>

Getting saved by the bell <br>

People find my company <br>

To be strange as hell <br>

<br>

And its only getting harder in this free world <br>

With all this strugglin g and strain <br>

People find my sweet peace of mind <br>

In the pouring rain <br>

<br>

As the storm moves in ain't no friends to be found <br>

So I sit 'neath this dream and bridge for a while <br>

And it seems that my mind is in pieces on the ground <br>

<br>

Singing it's hard <br>

Living in the free world <br>

Getting saved by the bell <br>

Mostly find my Jesus <br>

In the pouring rain <br>

I'm living in the free world<br>

<br>
