KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Broken Freedom Song lyrics

Got a song about a soldier

Ridin' somewhere on a train

Empty sleeve pinned to the shoulder

And some pills to ease the pain.

Started drinkin' in El Paso

He was drunk in San Antone

Tellin' strangers who were sleeping

How he hated going home.

Just a simple song of freedom

He was never fighting for

No one's listenin' when you need 'em

Ain't no fun to sing that song no more.

Got a song about the sister waitin'

Somewhere by the phone

For some man who never missed her

Ever since he come and gone.

And it's harder for a woman

With a baby on the way

That's the price of being human

When you're poor enough to pay.

So she listen to the freedom

In the silence at her door

No one's missin' till you need 'em

Ain't no fun to sing that song no more.

Got a song about a saviour

Looking lonesome and afraid

At a city full of strangers

And a cross he never made.

And he's sadder than he's wiser

And a longer way from home

And he wonders why his father

Left him bleeding and alone.

Just a broken song of freedom

And the closing of a door

No one's missin' till you need 'em

Ain't no fun to sing that song no more...
