We Lyrics by Billy Joe Shaver

Freedom’s Child

0

Me, I could have been the king
Could have had the golden ring
Could have given it to you

You, you could have been the queen
Had the world laid at your feet
Could have saved the world from me

We were so innocent and free
You know we tried our best to be
We had all of everything
Till I gave my love to you

Till you gave your love to me
Life such a hard old thing to face
When foulishy we break
Every vow we ever made

Dreams of yesterday were so great
Oh, so quickly start to fade
Into a shade of bitter blue

We were so innocent and free
You know we tried our best to be
We had all of everything
Till I gave my love to you

Till you gave your love to me
Life such a hard old thing to face
When foulishy we break
Every vow we ever make
