Kernaghan Lee - Freedom Road lyrics

I guess everybody knew the way the sergeant knocked her 'round But he laid down the law in that dusty cattle town The front bar just fell silent when she begged him please no more But no-one interfered when he slapped her to the ground But a young man watched the sergeant leave and knelt down by her side And a lost love was re-kindled when she held him in her eyes And in that unexpected moment two hearts were takin' flight As down that moonlit highway they spend into the night CHORUS Freedom road they're leaving this towen behind Freedom road there's no turning round this time There's no way back when two worlds explode There're somewhere out there on that freedom road They reached the three ways roadhouse took the Barkley to the east They'd head across to Queensland get a job out on the reef Then in the rear view mirror they saw the sergeant close in behind Their hearts were puonding harder as they neared the border line CHORUS For the first time in her life there was a freedom in the wind So when they saw the roadblock don't slow down she begged him They rolled and then burst into flames they didnt stand a chance In the stillness of that ghostly dawn they reached their promise land CHORUS
