Lyrics
Live Free
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking for the right kind of live free or die...
I want to see your smile through a pay phone
The season has changed
I want to see you in it
The lights that shine are caustic without you.
When we're all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Nicotine and waiting
Just wanted to keep it alive
You turn and before you know it
We're just threading this needle for life
A brighter way is what you prove
Anesthetize is what you do.
When we're all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Someday we'll be together
Farther south than the train line
The Delta mud will be there
We're just living this way
Because we know no other
When we're all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Looking for the right kind of live free or die...
