The Way Free
Kicking up the highway dust
with the wheel tight in my hand.
Glancing in the mirror at some pieces of the past
and I don't care if everyone is going the same way,
I might take a different turn
and go to a different place
and that's the way free feels to me.
I don't need those fancy cars you see on your TV.
If mine's a little rusty,
I don't owe anyone anything
and when I roll down the window
and the wind blows through my hair
I can hear that motor humming
"We could go almost anywhere"
and that's the way free feels to me.
Some drivers live for that fast lane,
passing everything is sight.
I'm not running in a race
though I might go fast sometimes
and I don't mind paying my taxes when I fill my tank
but if they jack that price too high
I'm going to tell them what I think
and that's the way free feels to me.
