Taking my freedom out on the run

Fought the rules and fought the ropes

When I was rolling, when I was broke

[Verse 2]

Did my drinking, had my fun

Nothing ever got in my way__
G C G C
Did my loving as I pleased
G C G D
"This is living," I used to say

I am an eagle and I've got to fly

Never have a heart to mend

Started fighting for my own soul

Living fast 'til they were through

Then my heart began to break

Someone said, "Now, gal, slow down

You're too young, too young to die"

Climbing against the wind__

To learn to love and heal again

All that running got to me
Bb C F
Could I stop and still be free?

Could I break and still be whole?

Would I live to rock and roll____?

[Verse 8]
G C G C
Got some friends who stood by me
G C G D
Telling me that I would survive
G C G C
Saying, "You're strong, you'll sing your song
G C G D
Know you're lucky to be alive"

[Verse 9]
G D C D
Still my spirit yearns to run

Chasing every star in the sky___

Wild and free I'll always be

I've got someone, I've got me
