Free

Did you notice the notice on her front door
The bank says she can’t live here no more
And they came and towed her car today that’s cool
She needs to walk more anyway

Ever since he left the scene
She’s been seeing things much differently
The things that mattered once now don’t
Cause the one who said they matter’s gone

It truly is a site to see the way that she has come to be

Free like she’s never been before ain’t nobody keeping score
Free smiling like a little kid the way she always should have been
Don’t you wish that you could be as free yeah yeah

Dave’s sitting in his car again counting seconds down till he clocks in
He hates his job he hates his boss he hates the 15 years he’s lost
But today they’ll find an empty desk and an email sent that simply says

Free like he’s never been before ain’t nobody keeping score
Free smiling like a little kid The way he always should have been
If you need him he’ll be at the creek free yeah yeah oooh

Today will not go like the rest no more needles no more tests
She’ll walk that hallway one last time down to that small brass victory prize
The nurses cry and wish her well she takes a breath and rings the bell

Free like she’s never been before ain’t nobody keeping score
Free smiling like a little kid the way she always should have been
Don’t you wish that you could be as free yeah yeah
