Broken Freedom Song

Broken Freedom Song

(album: Spooky Lady's Sideshow - 1974)

Got a song about a soldier,
riding somewhere on a train
empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder
and some pills to ease the pain

Started drinking in El Paso,
he was drunk in San Antone,
telling strangers who were sleeping
how he hated going home

Just a simple song of freedom,
he was never fighting for,
no one's listening when you need 'em,
ain't no fun to sing that song no more.

Got a song about a sister,
waiting somewhere by the phone,
for some man who never missed her,
ever since he come and gone

And its harder for a woman,
with a baby on the way,
that's the price of being human,
when you're poor enough to pay,

So she listens to the freedom,
in the silence at her door
no one's missing till you need 'em
ain't no fun to sing that song no more

Got a song about a Savior,
looking lonesome and afraid,
at a city full of strangers,
and a cross He never made

And He's sadder than He's wiser,
and a longer way from home,
and He wonders why His Father,
left Him bleeding and alone.

Just a broken song of freedom,
and the closing of a door,
no one's missing till you need 'em
ain't no fun to sing that song no more.
