Freedom Was A Highway

(album: Bettie James - 2020)

Sunset through a windshield, I can see it now
Like a picture in a frame (Picture in a frame)
Blue jeans and T-shirts, who we were
We wore it like a name (Like a name)
I wish I could go back to those days

When that town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams, were there for chasing
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and living for a Friday
And freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway

Barbwire on a fence-posts with a cross-wind
On a road no one was on (No one was on)
Five-deep with our hands up, just singing along to a hip hop song
I wish I could rewind and replay

When that town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams, were there for chasing
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and living for a Friday
And freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway

When you're seventeen and driving
You don't think about the road running out
No, no, no, no
You just keep your eyes on that horizon
'Cause you're wrapped up in now

But I wish I could go back to those days
When whe town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams, were there for chasing
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and living for a Friday
And freedom was a highway (Freedom was a highway)
Freedom was a highway (Baby, yeah)
Freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway
