lyrics

LYRICS
You took away my right to roam
Reduced a soul to skin and bone
Seize the freedom from me now
You take away my sacred cow

You shine a light upon my face
Accusations out of place
What I want is free of charge
What I need to be at large

And all I hear are the bluebirds sing outside

When I go free I plan to do
The things that bind me close to you
Half the time those things I found
I’d lost the other time around

So come on home there’s a fireplace
A Rosie Lee and a welcome face
The wanted poster on the flame
Erase the one that takes the blame

And all I hear are the bluebirds
Sing outside
Tonight
