freedom was a highway

sunset through a windshield

i can see it now

like a picture in a frame

blue jeans and t-shirts

who we were

we wore it like a name

i wish i could go back to those days

when that town was the whole world

and love was the girl next door

soundtrack was a song in the dark

i miss those days when our dreams

were there for chasin'

but time was better wasted

we were summer young and livin' for a friday

and freedom was a highway

freedom was a highway

barbwire on a fence-posts with a cross-wind

on a road no one was on

five-deep with our hands up

just singin' along to a hip hop song

i wish i could rewind and replay

when that town was the whole world

and love was the girl next door

soundtrack was a song in the dark

i miss those days when our dreams

were there for chasin'

but time was better wasted

we were summer young and livin' for a friday

and freedom was a highway

freedom was a highway

when you're seventeen and drivin'

you don't think about the road runnin' out

no

no

no

no

you just keep your eyes on that horizon

'cause you're wrapped up in now

but i wish i could go back to those days

when whe town was the whole world

and love was the girl next door

soundtrack was a song in the dark

i miss those days when our dreams

were there for chasin'

but time was better wasted

we were summer young and livin' for a friday

and freedom was a highway

freedom was a highway

freedom was a highway

freedom was a highway

freedom was a highway
