lyrics

Was beautiful night with starry skies
I was back home in North Caroline
I'll remember even when I'm old
That was the night my heart turned cold

He told me I could never tell
Cause if I did then I'd go to hell
Well our sentiments always were the same
So why choose now for things to change

Oh, come on baby let's have it out
Show me what your love's all about
Beat down upon the bed
Like you've done time and time again

He cursed at me and I cursed him back
Oh I swear I'd never talked like that
But when I looked him in his eyes
I knew it was time to say goodbye

Oh come around freedom, come around to me
I held onto my baby, now he's got a hold on me
Oh come around freedom, come around to me
I held onto my baby, now he's got a hold on me

Now, I swear I didn't mean to do it
Never thought that I'd go through this
But with that steal between my hands
And his body there on that bed

So one shot for what you've done to me
One shot for my dignity
One shot for all my tears
And two more to make sure we're clear

Oh come around freedom, come around to me
I held onto my baby, now he's got a hold on me
Oh come around freedom, come around to me
I held onto my baby, now he's got a hold on me

One shot left as he looked at me
I was ready to end it indefinitely
But then I saw that look in his eyes
One I'd had so many times

(And I thought) Satisfaction wasn't part of the deal
So I turned around and I put on my heels
I never really cared for change
But knew I'd never be the same

Oh come around freedom, come around to me
I held onto my baby, now he's got a hold on me
Oh come around freedom, come around to me
I held onto my baby, now he's got a hold on me
