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 freedomfrom 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 freedomfrom now on



And why I took my freedom

I ain't never gonna give it back

Me and my freedomfrom now on



Running to my freedom

I ain't never gonna give it back

Me and my freedomfrom 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 freedomfrom now on
