Rockin' in the Free World

Justin Otter Guy

My version of a Neil Young song.

“Rockin’ In The Free World”

There’s colors on the street – Red, white and blue
People shufflin’ their feet – People sleepin’ in their shoes
But there’s a warnin’ sign on the road ahead
There’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d be better off dead
Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world (x4)

I see a woman in the night – With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light – Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world (x4)

We got a thousand points of light – For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler, – Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world (x8)
