Free

Performed By: Zac Brown Band
From the 2008 Album: The Foundation
Written By: Zac Brown


The video clip and the following words to the song are the "extended version" of the song. In my opinion this is the BEST version. There is a 1 minute violin solo at the beginning. I hope you will give it a listen and that you enjoy it as much as I do!!





So we live out in our old van,
Travel all across this land,
Me and you.







We'll end up hand in hand,
Somewhere down on the sand,
Just me and you.




Just as free,
Free as we'll ever be.
Just as free,
Free as we'll ever be.









We'll drive until the city lights,
Dissolve into a country sky.
Just me and you.






Lay underneath the harvest moon,
Do all the things that lovers do.
Just me and you.










Just as free, 
Free as we'll ever be.






Just as free,
Free as we'll ever be,
and ever ---- be.









We were born before the wind,
Also younger than the sun.
And the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic.
Hark, now hear the sailors cry.
You smell the sea and you feel the sky.
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic.




When a foghorn blows I will be coming home.
Yeah when a foghorn blows I want to feel it,
Don’t have to fear it.



I want to rock your gypsy soul,
Just like way back in the days of old,
And together we will flow into the mystic.











No we don't have a lot of money,
No we don't have a lot of money,
No we don't have a lot of money,
No we don't have a lot of money,
No we don't have a lot of money,
No we don't have a lot of money,
No we don't have a lot of money,







All we need is love!




We're free as we'll ever be.
Just as free,
Free as we'll ever be.







So we'll live out in our old van,
Travel all across this land,
Me and you.

  3. My parents did this, went off in an old van, taking my youngest brother, and ended up living six months a year in Mexico, raising their little blond-haired blue-eyed Mexican son.
    You've captured the wandering spirit beautifully. I particularly love the "bonnie boat" and "the sailors cry" references from the Skye boat song.

    Sorry, I'm behind again. I had modem problems yesterday and just gave up being online.
