Low Down Freedom

(album: Billy Joe Shaver - 1982)

Long haired young girl here beside me
Fit my body, warm my mind
Sleeping quiet never knowing
By tomorrow she'll be one more thing
I'm gonna leave behind

Like them big wheels I'll be rolling
Like them rivers gonna flow to sea
'Cause I'd rather leave here knowing
That I'd made the fool of love
Before it made a fool of me

Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'll ever lose
You're as empty as my pockets
From the top of where you start
Down to the bottom of my shoes

Open highway, lonesome wind blows
Tell me something I don't know
Wrapped in woman arms around me
Tell me why I'm gonna leave
When I don't really wanna go

Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'll ever lose
You're as empty as my pockets
From the top of where you start
Down to the bottom of my shoes

Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'll ever lose
You're as empty as my pockets
From the top of where you start
Down to the bottom of my shoes
