G          F       C 
Seventeen, headin' down that road of freedom 
G              F                 C 
Well everybody said "Son, you'll never get nowhere" 
G       F                    C 
With my stubbon ways, well I knew that I would show them 
G                    F           C 
Can't keep somethin' wild locked up in a cage 
      Am                        C              D 
After time went by they finally realized I was on my way 
 
 
Chorus: 
G               F                       C 
Goin' down that two lane road stretched out across the desert 
G        F               C 
With the hot sun beatin' down on me 
G            F                  C 
I don't know where I'm going or when I'm gonna get there 
G          F          C  
But when I do it will set my mind at ease 
      C                      G  
I was born, I was born to be free 
 
 
Lookin' back now I think about those days 
And how that one summer changed everything 
But in the back of my mind I could still hear the voices 
Reminding me that I did it right there 
After time went by they finally realized I was on my way 
 
Chorus 
 
Piano run 
 
Lead solo 
 
 
After time went by they finally realized I was on my way
