G                              B
On a back dirt road took a joy ride
Em                              C
Fourteen years old, man, did we fly.
G                              B
How we laughed until we cried 'cause
Em             C              G
we knew in our hearts we were free.
G                                        B
We took a freight train south down that shoreline,
Em                              C
Hearts in our and bodies entwined,
G                                     B
I was yours and you were all mine and I
Em                 C            G
thought that's where I'd always be.

Chorus: 
G                        B
Cowboys high on our horses,
Em                           C
running wild through the forest
G                           B
Our whole lives lay before us;
Em          C        G
you and me, we were free.

G                              B
Oh hold it close, please remember
Em                              C
to believe in our thunder
G                              B
Don't let them steal it out from under
Em                 C                 G
the place in your heart where you're free.

G                              B
On the back dirt road I will see you,
Em                              C
Your laughin' eyes shining sky blue,
G                              B
All I will know you remain true 'cause
Em                 C           G
you know in your heart you are free.

G                              B
Oh my friend it's been forever,
Em                              C
Miles apart but always together
G                              B
Until the end I will remember 'cause
Em               C                G
you know that's where I'll always be.
