I was only 16, just got my pay
No girlfriend, no regrets, no one in my way
Pulled on the two lane, in my old '64
Pointed her southbound and jammed on the floor.
Give me that...
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet freedom
That nowhere to be that I'm gonna see
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet freedom
That old willow wind is calling again
We've got the right of places to see
That old Golden highway was calling to me
Pulled on the freeway, was just barely dawn
And The Eagles were singing, I'm 'Already Gone'
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet freedom
That nowhere to be that I'm gonna see
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet freedom
That old willow wind is calling again
But once in a while, when I'm feeling bound
I gather up my bags and get out of this town
It's a lump in the throat, like a broken heart
A storybook ending that needs a new start
I've traveled this roadway for fortune and fee
Traded my Chevy for a slick SUV
Through front range and forest, dusty old trail
I see that horizon, and I'm bound to set sail
Better give me that...
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet freedom
That nowhere to be that I'm gonna see
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet freedom
That old willow wind is calling again
