All the angels came around to help me through

Life blows fast changes, wind blows past pages
All I see is I don't need this
High strung tightrope walk, ticking time bomb clock
Scratch my name off, cut these chains

I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am free
Singin' those words of wisdom, let it be
Nobodys gonna put the blues inside of me

And in the stress to be the best I've done it all
I've slammed the doors, I've jammed the locks
I've laid the bricks, I've built the walls
Nobone could tell me back then why joy eluded me
Kept bumping into that misery
Locked up deep down inside of me

Took that rage and I, turned that page and I
Packed my tools, went back to school, yeah
And I passed my graduation, and I hold my Ph.d
In crash test blues I paid those dues

I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am free
Singin' those words of wisdom, let it be
Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me, yeah

Time flies by in photographs
And paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers
Three taps takes me home

Yeah, I'm free
I'm free

I'm free, kickin' out of that prison, I am free
Singin' those words of wisdom, let it be
Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me, Ohh yeah

I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Yeah, I'm free

Time flies by in photographs
And paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers
Three taps takes me home

Yeah, I'm free
Yeah, I'm free
I'm free
Ohh yeah
I'm free
Free
