New Freedom Blues by Town Mountain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Startin' my morning in the middle of the afternoon
Yesterday's coffee and a little smoke to get me through
Tryin' to get my day on track
Aw, first let me knock one back
'Til I'm all balled-up and pining at the thought of you
[Verse 2]
Thought it'd be best if we went our separate ways
So I cut you loose on a cold November day
And now I'm fighting back the tears
Reminiscing on our two good years
And these four walls feel like a coffin done already made
[Chorus]
I got the new freedom blues
Either way I just can't win for losin'
Seems like any path I choose
There's heartache up ahead, I'm a-goin' through it
And it's no fault but my own
That I'm stumblin' and stoned
Barely hangin' on
With new freedom blues
[Verse 3]
Rollin' like a freight train, listen to my whistle wail
Sooner or later, you know buddy, I'm'a jump that rail
Well I can't seem to hit them brakes
And I might even up them stakes
Just pour me what you got, fill it up, and let's give it hell
Let's give 'em hell
[Chorus]
I got the new freedom blues
Either way I just can't win for losin'
Seems like any path I choose
There's heartache up ahead, I'm a-goin' through it
And it's no fault but my own
That I'm stumblin' and stoned
Barely hangin' on
With new freedom blues
[Verse 4]
Well I thought by now I'd be steppin' out and movin' on
I got some good time friends and they say they wanna hear my songs
If I saw you out on the street
Not giving a damn about me
Don't you know it'd cut me down to the bone
[Chorus]
I got the new freedom blues
Either way I just can't win for losing
Seems like any path I choose
There's heartache up ahead, I'm a-goin' through it
And it's no fault but my own
That I'm stumblin' and stoned
Barely hangin' on
With new freedom blues
Startin' my morning in the middle of the afternoon
Yesterday's coffee and a little smoke to get me through
Tryin' to get my day on track
Aw, first let me knock one back
'Til I'm all balled-up and pining at the thought of you
[Verse 2]
Thought it'd be best if we went our separate ways
So I cut you loose on a cold November day
And now I'm fighting back the tears
Reminiscing on our two good years
And these four walls feel like a coffin done already made
[Chorus]
I got the new freedom blues
Either way I just can't win for losin'
Seems like any path I choose
There's heartache up ahead, I'm a-goin' through it
And it's no fault but my own
That I'm stumblin' and stoned
Barely hangin' on
With new freedom blues
[Verse 3]
