"How Much Does It Cost" lyrics
How much does it cost to be free?
Free from the heartache still living in me
I've given my heart, my soul, and my mind
How can I pay up and quit doing time?
And why am I always trying to make it all rhyme?
'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be
But how much does it cost to be free?
There are three sides to every story
You got yours, mine, and the truth
But don't worry about it
It will all come out in the wash
Maybe I'll write another hit song
Then we can all three sing along
But one thing is now clear to me
It will cost way too much to be free
How much does it cost to be free?
Free from the heartache still living in me
I've given my heart, my soul, and my mind
How can I pay up and quit doing time?
Why am I always trying to make it all rhyme?
'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be
But how much does it cost to be free?
Ol' Woody said, "How much does all of this cost?
I'll pay for it all. What the heck?
And, oh, by the way, take a check"
How much does it cost to be free?
Free from the heartache still living in me
I've given my heart, my soul, and my mind
How can I pay up and quit doing time?
And why am I always trying to make it all rhyme?
'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be
But how much does it cost to be free?
How much does it cost to be free?
Free from the heartache still living in me
I've given my heart, my soul, and my mind
How can I pay up and quit doing time?
And why am I always trying to make it all rhyme?
'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be
But how much does it cost to be free?
There are three sides to every story
You got yours, mine, and the truth
But don't worry about it
It will all come out in the wash
Maybe I'll write another hit song
Then we can all three sing along
But one thing is now clear to me
It will cost way too much to be free
How much does it cost to be free?
Free from the heartache still living in me
I've given my heart, my soul, and my mind
How can I pay up and quit doing time?
Why am I always trying to make it all rhyme?
'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be
But how much does it cost to be free?
Ol' Woody said, "How much does all of this cost?
I'll pay for it all. What the heck?
And, oh, by the way, take a check"
How much does it cost to be free?
Free from the heartache still living in me
I've given my heart, my soul, and my mind
How can I pay up and quit doing time?
And why am I always trying to make it all rhyme?
'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be
But how much does it cost to be free?
How much does it cost to be free?
