Magnavox in the living room
CBS and NBC
Clothesline tent in the back yard
Hockey game playin' in the street
Deck of cards in the kitchen
Cool breeze from our screen door
Grandma readin' love lettersâ¯
Grandpa wrote her in the war
Chorus:
Free
All those memories
Free
Didn't cost us anything
All the shiny cars, perfect yardsâ¯
Chasin' store bought dreams
We work so hard to have it all
When all the things we want are free
Got your accent from your hometown
Sense of humor from your dad
Get your green eyes from your motherâ¯
God knows you can't buy thatâ¯
They'll charge you for your 6-pack
But your friends are always there
A few extra bucks in the offering plateâ¯
Even though you can't buy a prayer
