I remember that old dirt road
Where the map ran out and the wind still flowed
Barefoot hearts and a radio hum
Chasin' dreams just for the fun

Back when we were free
No plans, no money, just you and me
Stars above and a Chevy key
Livin' wild, livin' easy —
Back when we were free

Time moves fast, like the river bends
You lose your way, you lose some friends
But sometimes late, when the world's asleep
I hear those laughs runnin' deep

Back when we were free
No plans, no money, just you and me
Stars above and a Chevy key
Livin' wild, livin' easy —
Back when we were free

Now I'm older, I still find
A piece of youth in the back of my mind
If I close my eyes, I still can see
That sunset glowin' down on me

Back when we were free
Young and wild as the summer breeze
No fear, no doubt, just harmony —
Oh, I miss who we used to be
Back when we were free
