Freedom Road (remastered) Songtext
von Lee Kernaghan

I guess everybody knew the way the sergeant knocked her around
But he laid down the law in that dusty cattle town
The front bar just fell silent when she begged him, "Please no more"
But no one interfered when he slapped her to the floor

But a young man watched the sergeant leave, and knelt down by her side
And a lost love was re-kindled when she held him in her eyes
In that unexpected moment, two hearts were takin′ flight
As down that moonlight highway, they sped into the night

Freedom road, they're leaving this town behind
Freedom road, there′s no turning 'round this time
There's no way back when two worlds explode
They′re somewhere out there on that freedom road


They reached the Threeways Roadhouse, took the Barkly to the east
They′d head across to Queensland, get a job out on the reef
Then in the rearview mirror, they saw the sergeant close behind
Their hearts were pounding harder as they neared the borderline

Freedom road, they're leaving this town behind
Freedom road, there′s no turning 'round this time
There′s no way back when two worlds explode
They're somewhere out there on that freedom road

For the first time in her life, there was freedom in the wind
So when they saw the roadblock, "Don′t slow down", she begged of him
They rolled and then burst into flames, they didn't stand a chance
In the stillness of that ghostly dawn, they reached their promised land

Freedom road, they're leaving this world behind
Freedom road, there′s no turning ′round this time
There's no way back when two worlds explode
They′re somewhere out there on that freedom road


They're leaving this world behind
Freedom road, there′s no turning 'round this time
There′s no way back when two worlds explode
They're somewhere out there on that freedom road
