Lyrics: Mat Kearney/Trent Dabbs/John-Luke Carter
The fire started at four in the morning
Dawning on his daddy cigarette burning low
He still hearing the sound
Trying to get out of the house that never felt like a home
You bring up the memories
He still stuck at 17
And leaving work in the evening
To start drinking for a reason that he already knows
Said I wanna be free darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see fallen
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just want to breathe
I want to be free darling
Like I feel in my dreams
He met her under the mountains of Montana
By the summer they all went up in smoke
He said we're better together
But all these embers seem to follow me wherever I go
Dumb luck at 23
Don't change the history
He was watching the shimmer out on the river
Saying maybe this is my way home
Said I wanna be free darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see fallen
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just want to breathe
I want to be free darling
Like I feel in my dreams
Said I wanna be free darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see fallen
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just want to breathe
I want to be free darling
Like I feel in my dreams
