JJ Grey & Mofro - Santa Claus, True Love And Freedom lyrics

Off and to the right, the fade of the light I'm watching the sun go down over the fields We see the one that little girl to make, make my heart pound (Yes, she do) But don't you know that that's forbidden? Son, you better get rid of them ideas They'll lead to a hangin' When I was young, you know that I believed In Santa Claus, true love and freedom Pushin' back the fear, sneakin' off to see her And we'd dream to leave this land Then her family would say, boy, yo better stay away If your daddy finds out you're a dead man Leave me to die, my way my time How can a man, Lord, chain a man? When I was young, you know that I believed In Santa Claus, true love and freedom Those days are gone, might as well leave them be No more Santa Claus, true love and freedom
