Head on down the highway
Across the county line,
I’ve had my fill of small town thrills
Gonna leave it all behind

Free flight, free flight

I’m careless in my loving,
Shameless in my style,
If I get caught by the short ‘n curlies
I’ll just hide out for awhile

Free flight, free flight

On an’ on the road goes on

It’ll go on forever,
An’ just the same I’ll live my life,
Hell bent for leather

Free flight, free flight

Heaven knows it’s driving me crazy,
It’s a feeling inside
Heaven knows it’s in my blood
As long as I try, I just can’t deny

Free flight, come tomorrow dawn you’ll find me gone
Free flight, make no bones about it, I’m moving on

Free flight, free flight, free flight
Free flight, free flight, free flight

Head on down the highway
Suitcase in your hand,
When you get down with your feet on the ground
I know you’ll understand

Free flight, free flight

Heaven knows it’s driving me crazy,
It’s a feeling that’s driving me wild
Heaven knows it’s in my blood,
Fool if you try, you just can’t deny

Free flight, come tomorrow dawn you’ll find me gone
Free flight, make no bones about it, I’m moving on

Free flight, free flight, free flight…
