Freedom Song

The story began In seventy three When the Sons of Liberty Discarded the tea And after the start Of the battle cry Independence was stated on The fourth of July Two hundred Years Have slowly gone by But we still got freedom and We know that it smells like Firewood burnin' Spent cases smokin' And them big ol' diesel trucks drivin' by Tastes like homegrown moonshine From an old mason jar And a momma's homemade apple pie On the twenty-first of June The ninth state agreed That We The People stand For Justice and Liberty And in less than four years To keep us from harm We protected free speech and The right to bear arms Two hundred Years Have slowly gone by But we still got freedom and We know that it sounds like A steel string guitar Playin' songs of the free That tell the stories of how we came to be Feels like a kiss from the sunshine When you're out on a ride While the sun sets along the country side Looks like a father and son Goin' fishin' in July And the sight of an eagle soarin' high But this didn't come Without sacrifice So many had to pay the ultimate price So we won't forget Even as the time flies The ones who moved on but still Call out Semper Fi Two hundred Years Have slowly gone by But we still got freedom and We know that it comes at The cost of the brave souls Who carry the pride Of the soldiers who fought by their side The ones who left us behind To earn their wings So that we may sing Let Freedom Ring
