I'm navigating my way down Freedom's Road,  Trying to make my way back home,   

Am                             G                                                    Am 
I got my foot to the floor But she must need bleeding This car just don't want to roll,  

C    G                                         D                                                      
     Freedom's Road must be under construction Sometimes you wonder what kind of freedom they're talking , 

Am              G                                                   Am

Sometimes there's rape sometimes there'll be murder Sometimes just darkness everywhere,  

Am                   G                                                   Am 
No passing signs and nos barbed wire fences Misinformation but no one cares,  

C    G                             D                                                       Am   
     Freedom's Road can get narrow No one wants to know If there's no pork in your barrel,   

Am                   G                                              Am

C               G              Am                                   G                        Am 
Freedom's Road, Freedom's Road If you're looking for the devil He's out there on Freedom's Road,   

Am                          G                                                                 Am 
You can drop your bombs AND You can beat the people senseless ,  But that won't get you anywhere,    

Am                       G                                                         Am 
Hide your agendas behind public consensus And say hey that this world just ain't fair,   

C                   G                         D 
Freedom's Road is a promise to the people You wont fool us now With all your lying and cheating  

Am                                    G                                                  Am
