Listen & Lyrics: ‘Freedom Was A Highway’ Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley

Lyrics to “Freedom Was A Highway” by Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley:

Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

THAT TOWN WAS THE WHOLE WORLD -LOVE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

SOUNDTRACK WAS ASONG 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

Verse 2:

BARBWIRE ON A FENCE-POSTS WITH A CROSS-WINDOW N 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

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:

WHEN YOU’RE 17 AND DRIVIN’ YOU DON’T THINK ABOUT THE ROAD RUNNIN’ OUT

NO, NO, NO, NO

YOU JUST SET YOUR EYES ON THAT HORIZON CUZ YOU’RE WRAPPED UP IN THE NOW
