Land of the Free

Jenny was a heartbreak-dancin', teenage ballerina

Jimmy was a hotrod-drivin' man, you should have seen him

With that engine loud, blue lights followed him around

'Til he and Jenny busted out of town

Dolly is a diner-counter diva pourin' coffee

Says, "Honey, this place is the only thing that my ex ever bought me"

Makeup on, playin' every jukebox song

She holds court and we all sing along

We're all washed in the water

Run away, come back here to this dirt

Just the same as our mothers and our fathers

We wanna make it so much that it hurts

You got that fire in you, feel it burnin' in me

Chasin' dreams in the land of the free

Woah, woah

Woah, woah

Dylan's daddy died, so he went to work for Uncle Sam

Two years later, he came back, doesn't know just where he stands

Not much to say, first boy due in May

Doing what he can to find a way

We're all washed in the water

Run away, come back here to this dirt

Just the same as our mothers and our fathers

We wanna make it so much that it hurts

You got that fire in you, feel it burnin' in me

Chasin' dreams in the land of the free

Woah, woah

Oh, woah

You and me, we got this thing that'll fade if we stop runnin'

Yeah, we're dreamers who believe we can turn nothin' into somethin'

We're all washed in the water

Run away, come back here to this dirt

Just the same as our mothers and our fathers

We wanna make it so much that it hurts

You got that fire in you, feel it burnin' in me

Chasin' dreams in the land of the free

(Oh) In the land of the free

(Oh) You and me, chasin' dreams

(Oh) In the land of the free

(Oh)
