you should have been there when I gave the news
I know you would have been surprised to see
the smoke and the fire that was comin' out of me
now that I've finally shaken you loose
and I have cut the chains that held me back
feelin' more and more like a train rolling down the track
running to my freedom
I ain't never gonna give it back
me and my freedom, from now on
one of these days it's gonna happen to you
you're gonna find yourself in love so deep
that you would give up anything for that love to keep
then sooner or later it will break down on you
and when you finally feel all the hurt inside
you will understand the reason why I cried
running to my freedom
I ain't never gonna give it back
me and my freedom, from now on
and why I took my freedom
I ain't never gonna give it back
me and my freedom, from now on
running to my freedom
I ain't never gonna give it back
me and my freedom, from now on
now that I've finally shaken you loose
and I have cut the chains that held me back
feelin' more and more like a train rolling down the track
running to my freedom
I ain't never gonna give it back
me and my freedom, from now on
