Текст песни Gavin Degraw - Freedom (Johnny’s Song)

[Verse 1]
Johnny's got a family of five, and he works for the state
He got debts that are piling high, and an old Chevrolet
Willie on the dash playin' tunes
Smells like grass 'cause he's covered in June
Picking up extra cash, mowing lawns with his kids

[Verse 2]
Stained sneakers walk through the church as they kneel down to pray
Sayin', "Please Lord, have pity on us, take our troubles away
These seeds that we're plantin' with you
We hope one day, your Lord will come true"
I remember еven right now that look on his face

[Chorus]
So we'd gеt high and we'd ramble
Get drunk and we'd gamble
Teenagers cruisin' at 75
Singin' "Sweet Home Alabama"
Stay out all damn weekend
Sundays are for sleeping
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Yeah, freedom

[Verse 3]
Mom says she gonna enlist, and the Corps pays for school
They'll have more money they could work with if she just had the tools
John says, "What you think's best
I'll work doubles and make up the rest"
Still drown in college debt
I'll never forgive or forget

[Chorus]
So we'd get high and we'd ramble
Get drunk and we'd gamble
Teenagers cruisin' at 75
Singin' "Sweet Home Alabama"
Stay out all damn weekend
Sundays are for sleeping
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Yeah, freedom

[Bridge]
Went to Woodstock
With his draft papers in his back pocket from Vietnam
Workin' in the slammer
Did hard time
Went through hell together
They'd die for each other
Oh, these lovers in arms

[Chorus]
Yeah, they'd get high and they'd ramble
Get drunk and they'd gamble
When they were younger like everyone else
Like you couldn't blow out their candle
Stay out all damn weekend
Sundays are for sleeping
Nobody leaving this planet alive
Might as well enjoy your freedom
Yeah, freedom
