Sweet Freedom
Lyrics
I've paid my debt to society,
I admit I was guilty as I could be,
Being a poor man was my crime,
But a new day is dawning and I've done my time,
Sweet freedom, hear me calling,
I can feel your spirit rising in my soul,
Sweet freedom hear me calling,
And I'm comin' to ya,
Daddy's gonna rock and roll,
I've done a stretch working for The Man,
He held my mind in the palm of his hand,
I played it safe and I paid the cost,
Now I'm gonna make up for the time I lost,
Sweet freedom, hear me calling,
I can feel your spirit rising in my soul,
Sweet freedom hear me calling,
And I'm comin' to ya,
Daddy's gonna rock and roll.
I've been layin' back they had me believin',
The role they wanted me to play,
Now it's time for me to spread my wings,
Sit back, brother, watch me fly away!
I've paid my debt to society,
I admit I was guilty as I could be,
Being a poor man was my crime,
But a new day is dawning and I've done my time,
Sweet freedom, hear me calling,
I can feel your spirit risin' in my soul,
Sweet freedom, hear me calling,
And I'm ready for ya Daddy's gonna rock and roll!
Sweet freedom, hear me calling,
I can hear your music singin' in my soul,
Sweet freedom, hear me calling
And I'm ready for ya Daddy's gonna rock and roll,
And I'm ready for ya Daddy's gonna rock and roll,
And I'm comin' for ya
Daddy's gonna rock and roll
