How Much Does It Cost

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 alright?

'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

The one thing, is now clear, to me

It will cost way too much, to be free
