"Freedom Road" Lyrics

I didn't listen, I paid no attention
They said a face from a place like this never gone too far
They said you'll never see the spotlight, you're just a small-town red-light
Oh, you better get your head right before you fall down hard

And they're pulling me left, pulling me right
Now hold it in the center and I don't think twice
Keeping up a steady row on this freedom road
Yeah, they build you up and they tear you down
You can lose your mind in this crazy town
The only peace I know is on this freedom road

I might have come from nothing, but I was born to be something
I ain't walking, I'm running and gunning and I'm right on track
Doing what I believe in, oh, an American dreamin'
It ain't always easy, but the Lord, He's got my back

And they're pulling me left, pulling me right
Now hold it in the center and I don't think twice
Keeping up a steady row on this freedom road
Yeah, they build you up and they tear you down
You can lose your mind in this crazy town
The only peace I know is on this freedom road

The way I'm going
Down this freedom road

Pulling me left, pulling me right
Now hold it in the center and I don't think twice
Keeping up a steady row on this freedom road
Yeah, they build you up and they tear you down
You can lose your mind in this crazy town
The only peace I know is on this freedom road

And they're pulling me left, pulling me right
Now hold it in the center and I don't think twice
Keeping up a steady row on this freedom road
Yeah, they build you up and they tear you down
You can lose your mind in this crazy town
The only peace I know is on this freedom road
Yeah, the only peace I know is on this freedom road
Yeah, there's peace I know, on this freedom road
