Barefoot runnin' through the green pastures Smilin' at her mom and dad Sun kissed skin, no T-Shirt Grass stains coverin' her legs Mm-mm Mama's lookin' on at her grand-baby It's a summertime cookout Gazin' at the one named for wild things Family's all around Oh, to be that free again Oh, to be that free Never lookin' back never lookin' on It's the only way to be free Mm-mm Mm-mm Mm-mm Climbin' up fence posts runnin' under cows Not fearin' what could be there Pullin' up weeds to fill bouquets Wrapped in twine to share Sugar maples standin' tall in the grove Cedar trees lend their shade Calls from the porch for Tiger Rose Through the woods she hears her name Oh, to be that free again Oh, to be that free Never looking back never lookin' on It's the only way to be free Mm-mm Mm-mm Mm-mm ♪ ♪ Stars come out with the fireflies Cool breeze chills the air Freshly bathed under full moonlight Fire burns downstairs Oh, to be that free again Oh, to be that free Never lookin' back never lookin' on It's the only way to be free Mm-mm ♪ Oh, to be that free again Oh, to be that free Never lookin' back never lookin' on It's the only way to be free Mm-mm Mm-mm
