took a ride with
my kid brother
Made his sister swear
that she wouldn't tell her mother
Drove to the desert,
got a room with a pool outside
And a truck stop right next door
They drank sweet wine
with the sheets pulled down
Watching color TV without the sound
My brother brought Sally
to a place she'd never been before
I wanna be free, Lord I want to be free
They drove her back home
in the light of day
She was sitting beside him
holding his hand all the way
Brother said, I will talk to your mom
if you want me to
Do you think he'll do any good, son?
She had him drop her off
at the side of the house
When she walked through the door
Her mama woke up on her couch
and started hitting and screaming
Little sister just left the room
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
You can touch me
You can reach me
Because I'm more than a pair
You can't teach me
Well Sally packed her bags
in the middle of the night
And hugged her little sister
neat the front porch light
And she watched us as
Sally and my brother
Just drove away
Into the heat of the night
She went back inside
and lay down on her bed
With a vision of the future
running right ahead
An d she held to her pillow
Cause she thought that
she would blow away
I wanna be free
I free Lord, I wanna be free
You can't touch me,
you can't reach me
There's nothing more
that you can teach me
I don't care if you don't love me
You don't love me for what I am
I am not
I am not somebody
You
