Used to live off a Liberty Road in Mississippi. My parents still live there. I walked down Liberty Road from time to time and the name of the road and its potential for symbolism always stuck with me. Tried to capture what I might think about while walking down Liberty Road…and liberty road.
This recording of the song is with my band Buffalo Nickel. You can buy mp3s of the album (or just this song) at Amazon.com
Just To Be Free
(Clinton Kirby, BMI copyright 2011)
Walkin’ down Liberty Road
Carryin’ a heavy load
In your mind and you’re tryin’
Just to let it go
Everything you see stirs up memories
Mostly good, others might be best forgotten
Wouldn’t you like to be free with me?
Wouldn’t you like just to be free?
Walkin’ down Liberty Road
Your heart just might explode
From what you feel, it’s so real
Makes you kinda happy
Everything you see stirs up memories
No regrets or bad debts can keep you down now
Wouldn’t you like to be free with me?
Wouldn’t you like just to be free?
