Broken down and funky saloons That's where I've been playing my tunes Talkers and brawlers, pick-ups and callers Talking through my song Gotta leave before too long A song could set me free (Sweet #1) I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1) Customers they sit around And treat me like I'm someone they owned I'm singing their songs Corny and square songs Miss my rock 'n' roll Need a song to soothe my soul I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1) A song could set me free (Sweet #1) Honey, out here the nights are lonely Out here away from you Baby, you know I love you only But I got to pay my dues Now I got this dream and with my songs I'm gonna make it come true for me and for you I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1) A song could set me free (Sweet #1) Broken down and funky saloons That's where I've been playing my tunes Talkers and brawlers, pick-ups and callers Talking through my song Gotta leave before too long A song could set me free (Sweet #1) I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1)
