I always knew she had a set of wings
Underneath that blue jean jacket
She never said she was too good for me
But I tell you she was if you'd asked me
She was made for more than this two lane backroad 'Bama town
And I wish holdin' her didn't mean holdin' her back, or holdin' her down
But it does, so here I am, drinking this let her go goodbye drink
Thinking damn near right
The best things in life are free (free)
Free, as a bird when it's flyin' (free)
Free, like the sun when it's shinin' (free)
Free, there's a road winding out in front of her, front of her, free (free)
Free as a prayer on a Sunday (free)
Singing please, bring her back to me someday (free)
But if lovin' her, oh loving her, taught me anything
It's the best things in life are free
She used to love this ol' rusty two tone pick up truck
But it feels so empty now, to turn these keys and fire it up
But I wish her well into the county line sunset
It's like I said
The best things in life are free (free)
Free, as a bird when it's flyin' (free)
Free, like the sun when it's shinin' (free)
Free, there's a road winding out in front of her, front of her, free (free)
Free, as a prayer on a Sunday (free)
Singing please, bring her back to me someday (free)
But if lovin' her, oh loving her, taught me anything
It's the best things in life are free (ooh)
Free, yeah, free (ooh)
I always knew she had a set of wings
Underneath that blue jean jacket
Thinking damn near right
The best things, the best things in life are free (free)
Free, as a bird when it's flyin' (free)
Free, like the sun when it's shinin' (free)
Free, there's a road winding out in front of her, front of her, free (free)
Free, as a prayer on a Sunday (free)
Singing please, bring her back to me someday (free)
But if lovin' her, oh loving her, taught me anything
It's the best things in life are free
