[Intro]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, woo)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 1: Jimmie Allen]
Sunset through a windshield, I can see it now
Like a picture in a frame (Picture in a frame)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Blue jeans and t-shirts, who we were
We wore it like a name (Like a name)
I wish I could go back to those days

[Chorus: Jimmie Allen]
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams
Were there for chasin'
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
And freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Brad Paisley]
Barbwire on a fencepost with a crosswind
On a road no one was on (No one was on)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Five deep with our hands up
Just singin' along to a hip-hop song
I wish I could rewind and replay
[Chorus: Jimmie Allen, Brad Paisley & Jimmie Allen]
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams
Were there for chasin'
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
And freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway

[Bridge: Brad Paisley & Jimmie Allen]
When you're seventeen and drivin'
You don't think about the road runnin' out
No, no, no, no
You just keep your eyes on that horizon
'Cause you're wrapped up in now (Ooh, ooh)
Hey (Ooh, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, woo)

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Jimmie Allen]
I wish I could go back to those days

[Chorus: Jimmie Allen, Brad Paisley, Both]
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams
Were there for chasin'
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin' for a Friday
And freedom was a highway (Freedom was a highway)
Freedom was a highway, baby (Oh, yeah)
[Outro: Jimmie Allen, Brad Paisley]
And freedom was a highway (Freedom was a highway)
Freedom was a highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
