Hall Oates Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics

Philadelphia Freedom Lyrics

I used to be a rolling stone







You know if the cause was right







I’d leave to find the answer on the road







I used to be a heart beating for someone







But the times have changed







The less I say the more my work gets done







’cause I live and breathe this philadelphia freedom







From the day that I was born I’ve waved the flag







Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man







Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had







Oh philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you







Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind







Shine a light shine a light







Shine a light won’t you shine a light







Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do







If you choose to you can live your life alone







Some people choose the city







Some others choose the good old family home







I like living easy without family ties







Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me







Right between the eyes
