(yeah, yeah)
They tried to lock the gates,
tried to hold us tight But you can't contain the wild of
a southern night
Dust on these boots,
gravel in the lane We don't need permission to break the chain
(no we don't)
I'm born to be Free
Yeah, born to be Free (born to be free,
y'all) Underneath the stars,
where we want to be
We bypass the fences,
skip the main road Living out the stories that we've always told
From the clay to the highway,
running past the signs Leaving every single worry far behind (let's go)
I'm born to be Free
Yeah, born to be Free (born to be free,
y'all)
Underneath the stars, where we want to be
No lock can hold this fire inside
No walls can block
our southern pride
(no, they can't)
I'm born to be Free
(born to be free)
(yeah,
southern night)
