I dream of the day when I hear them say: You're free I think it about it all the time Well I can almost taste Mama's french fried bread Country wine, moonshine puts ache in my head And they won't believe it when I'm home So break another dawn, let the Sun shine on this place For tomorrow's the day I'm gonna wear a free man's face Break another dawn, let the gates fly free and wide For I pity the man that's gonna take my place inside Time don't fly fast enough when you're laying here Thinking of the day when you'll be free Oh how I envy the bird with his wing up towards the view I'll be home in the morning before the dew They won't believe it when I'm home So break another dawn, let the Sun shine on this place For tomorrow's the day I'm gonna wear a free man's face Break another dawn, let the gates fly free and wide Though I pity the man that's gonna take my place inside I'll be home long before they can close my prison door They won't believe it when I'm home Oh break another dawn, let the Sun shine on this place For tomorrow's the day I'm gonna wear a free man's face Break another dawn, let the gates fly free and wide So I pity the man that's gonna take my place inside Break another dawn, let the Sun shine on this place For tomorrow's the day I'm gonna wear a free man's face Break another dawn, let the gates fly free and wide Though I pity the man that's gonna take my place inside Break another dawn, let the Sun shine on this place For tomorrow's the day I'm gonna wear a free man's face
