Free at Last Lyrics

Jackin' around that old jazz town
was like draggin' a dried up lake
I turned every stone I could turn
and I took about all I could take
dead soldiers lined up on the bar
laying down in the morning sun
thank god I've been leaving that place
since the day I was born
you should have listened
you don't know what you're missing now
sometimes
small circles a head full of smoke
I drove the loop in my '65
thrift store shoes, the grand emporium blues
man I'm lucky to be alive
I put my foot right through the floor
and headed south in the pouring rain
do you remember that girl
I don't remember her name
she should have kissed me though
I know she's missing me now
sometimes
streamline powerglide
a box of peaches on the passenger side
free at last; free at last; free at last
I said great god almighty
all skate it's a blind date
a book of matches and a big boilerplate
free at last; free at last; free at last
I say great god almighty
Hey mama take a look at me now
Your baby boy's finally on the green
Same damn tune, same old dirty saloon
And it's the damndest thing I've ever seen
But don't think twice I roll some pretty big dice
A gambler's got to keep an even keel
It ain't this town or the big throw down
It's a soaring wheel
You're out hitting and you shouldnt fall back in it now
Sometimes... sometimes
I'm following a star
over the rainbow now; over the rainbow now
streamline powerglide
a box of peaches on the passenger side
free at last; free at last; free at last
I said great god almighty
all skate it's a blind date
a book of matches and a big boilerplate
free at last; free at last; free at last
I say great god almighty
free at last; free at last; free at last
I say great god almighty
free at last; free at last; free at last
I say great god almighty
