If I Were Free - Don Williams

If I were free what I would do

I’d run and lock myself away with you

And turn a ring into a key

Oh I know that’s what I’d do

If I were free

If I were strong I would be so mild

I would be strong enough to love you like a child

I would turn a cry into a song

Oh I know that’s what I would do

If I were strong

If I were wise then I would see

What makes you love a foolish man like me

I’d stand by you just like a tree

Oh I know that’s what I would do

I would chain myself to you

I would never leave this room if I were free

A line of birds across the sun

Darling it’s my fate to follow on the run

But girl this running is not for me

I would never run again if I were free

And here’s just what I’d do

I would chain myself to you

I would never leave this room if I was free
