Summer nights, she was sneaking out the bedroom window of her parent's house
And I was waiting, ooooh, with the lights turned off
Hoping, wishing, praying that we wouldn't get caught
And we were gone
Freedom, no there ain't nothing like it
Freedom, tastes so sweet when you find it
When the wind's at your back, and your wheel's are on the road
Don't you know that's freedom, freedom
He broke her down, wouldn't let her up
He had a real funny way, of showing his love
Till she found the courage, ooooh, to stand on her own
He went looking in the kitchen, bedroom, backyard when he got home
But she was gone
Freedom, no there ain't nothing like it
Freedom, tastes so sweet when you find it
When the wind's at your back, and your wheel's are on the road
Don't you know that's freedom, freedom
I'm talking bout freedom
Ohhhh, freedom
Ohhhh, freedom
I knew a man, that spent his life behind the walls
There ain't no gettin' back, all the years that he'd lost
See he'd been paying for somebody else's crime
And when they opened up the doors, he took a step outside
And he cried
Freedom, no there ain't nothing like it
Freedom, tastes so sweet when you find it
When you hold it in your hands
It's more precious than gold
Don't you know that's freedom, freedom
Ooooh, and it tastes so sweet
Freedom
