Don't tell me that I don't, that I can't or that I won't
I'm gonna live the way I want because I can
Don't tell me what to say, what to take or give away
Till you've worked an honest day like my old man
'Cause what I got, I got all by myself
Love's the only thing I owe to anybody else
Oh, I know how freedom feels
The cost of blood it took to seal that deal
This is my house, my town, my hands working my ground
And you'll go down if you try to steal
The things I love, or the way that freedom feels
It's live or die free, that's how we used to be
It's only on our knees we'll save this land
I love that we're a nation of God-fearing generations
And it's only by His grace that we still stand
We've got to make sure all our sons and daughters
Live free come hell or high water
Oh, I know how freedom feels
The cost of blood it took to seal that deal
This is my house, my town, my hands working my ground
And you'll go down if you try to steal
The things I love, or the way that freedom feels
I never thought there'd come a day
When we'd forget the price we paid
Or be the type to just stand by
And let it all just slip away
Oh, I know how freedom feels
The cost of blood it took to seal that deal
This is my house, and my town, and my hands working my ground
And you'll go down if you try to steal
This is my house, and my town, and my hands working my ground
And you'll go down if you try to steal
The things I love, or the way that freedom feels
That's what I love, and that's how freedom feels
