If I Were Free Songtext
von Don Williams

If I were free what I would do
I′d run and lock myself away with you
And turn a ring into a key
Oh, I know that's what I′d do if I were free

If I were strong I would be so mild
I'd be strong enough to love you like a child
I'd turn a cry into a song
Oh, I know that′s what I would do if I were strong


If I were wise then I would see
What makes you love a foolish man like me
I′d stand by you just like a tree

Oh, I know that's what I would do
I would chain myself to you
I would never leave this room if I were free

A line of birds across the sun
Darling, it′s my fate to follow on the run
But girl this running is not for me
I would never run again if I were free

And here's just what I′d do
I would chain myself to you
I would never leave this room if I was free
