Don Williams - If I Were Free lyrics

If I were free what I would do I'd run and lock myself away with you And turn a ring into a key Oh I know that's what I'd do If I were free If I were strong I would be so mild I would be strong enough to love you like a child I would turn a cry into a song Oh I know that's what I would do If I were strong If I were wise then I would see What makes you love a foolish man like me I'd stand by you just like a tree Oh I know that's what I would do I would chain myself to you I would never leave this room if I were free A line of birds across the sun Darling it's my fate to follow on the run But girl this running is not for me I would never run again if I were free And here's just what I'd do I would chain myself to you I would never leave this room if I was free
