Freedom Road Lyrics - Singles - Kernaghan Lee

I guess everybody knew the way the sergeant knocked her 'round 

But he laid down the law in that dusty cattle town 

The front bar just fell silent when she begged him please no more 

But no-one interfered when he slapped her to the ground 

But a young man watched the sergeant leave and knelt down by her side 

And a lost love was re-kindled when she held him in her eyes 

And in that unexpected moment two hearts were takin' flight 

As down that moonlit highway they spend into the night 

CHORUS 

Freedom road they're leaving this towen behind 

Freedom road there's no turning round this time 

There's no way back when two worlds explode 

There're somewhere out there on that freedom road 

They reached the three ways roadhouse took the Barkley to the east 

They'd head across to Queensland get a job out on the reef 

Then in the rear view mirror they saw the sergeant close in behind 

Their hearts were puonding harder as they neared the border line 

CHORUS 

For the first time in her life there was a freedom in the wind 

So when they saw the roadblock don't slow down she begged him 

They rolled and then burst into flames they didnt stand a chance 

In the stillness of that ghostly dawn they reached their promise land 

CHORUS
