[Verse 1]
Long haired young girl here beside me
Fit my body, warm my mind
Sleeping quiet never knowing
By tomorrow she'll be one more thing I'm gonna leave behind
Like them big wheels I'll be rollin'
Like them rivers gonna flow to sea
'Cause I'd rather leave here knowing
That I'd made the fool of love before it made the fool of me

[Chorus]
Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'll ever lose, Lord
You're as empty as my pockets
From the top of where you start down to the bottom of my shoes

[Verse 2]
Open highway, lonesome wind blows
Tell me something I don't know
Wrapped in woman arms around me
Tell me why I'm gonna leave and I don't really wanna go

[Chorus]
Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'll ever lose
You're as empty as my pockets
From this top of where you start down to the bottom of my shoes
Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'll ever lose, Lord
You're as empty as my pockets
From the top
