Lyrics

Sunset burnin’ in my rear-view chrome
Highway hummin’ that lonesome tone
Left my tears in the dust back there
Freedom’s blowin’ wild through my hair

Ain’t waitin’ on love to stay
The wind and I, we found our way
Every mile’s a melody
This road belongs to me

Free and on my own
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
No chains, no ties, no borrowed tone
Free is me on my own
Got my faith, my fire, my soul full-grown
Yeah … free … and on my own

I’ve seen the faces, I’ve heard the lines
All shine and gloss but none that bind
Need more than a pretty face
Pretty face, empty and dull, no grace
I’m not fallin’ for that grocery-store peach cologne
Smells like sugar, but the soul’s long gone

Don’t need a smile that fades by dawn
I want fire that keeps me warm
If you can’t stir my soul’s deep sea
Then you ain’t the one for me

Free and on my own
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
I’m open to a spark that feeds my soul
To love that’s real and takes control
Outer beauty’s ugly to me
If there isn’t more, he just won’t be with me
Yeah free … is me … on my own

Freedom don’t whisper — it growls through me
Every note a heartbeat’s decree
Depth over surface, truth over fame
Love’s not a look — it’s a flame

Free and on my own
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Got the strength, the spark, the wild unknown
Free is me on my own
If you’ve got soul, then maybe you’ll see
That free … could be you with me

Free … that’s my song
Free … on my own
