Free Spirit

(album: Til They Bang On The Door - 2016)

"I got a friend who's lost" she told me
But we both knew who she meant
Thinks she found her one and only
Oh, they never get out of bed
She likes a happy ending, that fairy tale is tempting
And what's wrong with that?

I know that you don't wanna hurt him
So whatcha gonna do with that free spirit?
You start to believe you deserve him
And it's easy to forget when you're deep in it
What you're gonna do with that free spirit
Is leave him behind

Oh, he'll ride your roller coaster
And he'll come at your command
'Cause he thinks it brings him closer
To your garden gate, the interstate to some sacred holy land
If you're the inspiration for his suffering dedication
What's wrong with that?

I know that you don't wanna hurt him
So whatcha gonna do with that free spirit?
You start to believe you deserve him
And it's easy to forget when you're deep in it
Whatcha gonna do with that free spirit
Whatcha gonna do with that free spirit
Is leave him behind-ind-ind...

I know that you don't wanna hurt him
So whatcha gonna do with that free spirit?
You start to believe you deserve him
And it's easy to forget when you're deep in it
Always staying true to that free spirit
Busy being you living in the minute
Whatcha gonna do with that free spirit
When he leaves you behind?
