You and me and a bottle of screw-top wine
We headed out to the lake for a little unplug and unwind
In my old Silverado, draggin' your daddy's boat behind
Not a cloud in the sky on the Fourth Of July
And it felt like freedom
It felt like breakin' those chains
It felt like leavin' behind us, the troubles behind us
And never lookin' back again, it felt like freedom
Grandaddy used to say some things never change
I think he must've been right, 'cause baby, it still feels the same
When I put my arms around you, it takes me right back to that night
And those fireworks in your eyes, rockin' that boat on the Fourth Of July
And it feels like freedom
It feels like breakin' those chains
It feels like leavin' behind us, the troubles behind us
And never lookin' back again, it feels like freedom
Like two birds that just got out of the cage
We'll stay close together, baby, and fly away
You and me, we got some of that Bonnie and Clyde
We might look like two ordinary people, on the outside
But when we make love tonight ---
It'll feel like freedom
It'll feel like breakin' those chains
It'll feel like leavin' behind us, the troubles behind us
And never lookin' back again
It feels like freedom
It feels like breakin' those chains
It feels like leavin' behind us, the troubles behind us
And never lookin' back again, it feels like freedom
