I guess Deverybody knew the way the Asergeant knocked her 'Dround,
But he laid down the law in that Gdusty D/F#cattle Emtown.
The Dfront bar just fell silent when she Abegged him 'please no Bmmore',
But Gno-one interDfered when he Aslapped her to the Dfloor.
But a Dyoung man watched the sergeant leave and Aknelt down by her Dside,
And a lost love was re-kindled when she Gheld him D/F#in her Emeyes.
And in that Dunexpected moment, two Ahearts were takin' Bmflight,
As Gdown that moonlight Dhighway they Asped into the Dnight.
Freedom Droad, they're Gleavin' this town beDhind.
Freedom F#mroad, there's no Gturning 'round this Atime.
There's no way Dback Gwhen two worlds exDplode,
They're Emsomewhere D/F#out there Gon that Afreedom Droad.
They Dreached the three ways roadhouse, took the ABarkley to the Deast,
They'd head across to Queensland, get a Gjob out D/F#on the Emreef.
Then Din the rear view mirror they saw the Asergeant close beBmhind,
Their Ghearts were pounding Dharder as they Aneared the borderDline.
Freedom Droad, they're Gleavin' this town beDhind.
Freedom F#mroad, there's no Gturning 'round this Atime.
There's no way Dback Gwhen two worlds exDplode,
They're Emsomewhere D/F#out there Gon that Afreedom Bmroad.
[Instrumental]
Bm   G   D   F#m   G   A   D   G   D  Em  D/F#  G  A  D
For the Dfirst time in her life, there was a Afreedom in the Dwind,
So when they saw the roadblock, 'Don't slow Gdown', she D/F#begged of Emhim.
They Drolled and then burst into flames, they Adidn't stand a Bmchance,
In the Gstillness of that Dghostly dawn, Athey reached their promised Dland.
Freedom Droad, they're Gleaving this world beDhind.
Freedom F#mroad, there's no Gturning 'round this Atime.
There's no way Dback Gwhen two worlds exDplode,
They're Emsomewhere D/F#out there Gon that Afreedom Bmroad.
They're Gleavin' this world beDhind.
Freedom F#mroad, there's no Gturning 'round this Atime.
There's no way Dback Gwhen two worlds exDplode,
They're Emsomewhere D/F#out there Gon that Afreedom Droad.
