From the recordings Four Blocks To Hennepin and Complete Recordings
Lyrics
Freedom
Sitting round the bar 'til midnight talking about freedom
Thinking about the times we raged on and how it's all gone
Dig out the names and postcards but now it don't mean too much
Dig out the old electric and sing us a swan song
You were the bright light
You were the one who held your own
You fought the good fight
And now you're rolling on alone
All these years you're talking about freedom
Tearing out the roots that keep you sane
All these years you're talking about freedom
Building up the walls that hide your pain
Gina's a faded memory, a chapter on good advice gone wrong
You took her down to Memphis and wrote her that song
You filled her full of good news and drank her last quarter down
She tried to help you make it but you were long gone
She was the one light
She was the one who really cared
She fought the losing fight
And now you're rolling on alone
