Freedom is a luscious, well -endowed,
long -haired young lady
She lives in the projects
across the road from the county jail
She likes to share her beauty
on a sunny afternoon,
Lord, it's plain to see
And I watch her go joggin'
through the barred -up
windows of my cell
Every day she passes by
and blows her kisses through my window
I pitch her down a cigarette
for my daily ten -second yield
She walks away smilin', blowin' smoke,
she knows what she's doin' to me
But she don't know tomorrow
mornin' my freedom is due
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Freedom, freedom
Tomorrow I'm gonna have
sweet freedom
Freedom, freedom
One more night and one more
dream of you
Freedom, freedom
I played your game,
but now it's time to pay the man
Freedom, freedom
I've paid my dues,
now it's time for you
Every night, Freedom's bedroom light
makes shadows on the window
And I watch that old mirror
reflectin' every mornin' in the sun
I can see her smilin' as she
wiggles round the room
She knows I'm lookin'
But she don't know I've counted
730 days down to one
Freedom, freedom
Tomorrow I'm gonna have
sweet freedom
Freedom, freedom
One more night and one more
dream of you
Freedom, I've played your game
But now it's time to be
the man I am
Freedom, I've paid my dues
And now it's time for you
Freedom, tomorrow I'm gonna have
Sweet freedom
Freedom, freedom,
one more night,
one more dream of you
Freedom, freedom,
I played your game
but now it's time...
