Small Price To Be Free

Here I go, I'm cooking on the run
 The water's boiling over
 Here I go, I'm rising with the sun
 Small price to be free
 Here I go, I fade into the crowd
 Full of sons and lovers
 I catch no eyes no that is not allowed
 Small price to be free
 I can remember a time and a place
 Nineteen hundred and sixty-three
 I was so young all I wanted was fun
 The world it was smiling back at me
 This was not long to be
 That steam engine train carries my shame
 And in my dreamtime I smell the rain
 Here I go, I'm sleeping at the wheel
 Blue men pulls me over
 I tip my hat to my own nerves of steel
 They send me on my way
 Here I go, I'm in a strangers land
 The sun is always shining
 Sometimes things don't go as I had planned
 Small price to be free
 I know that I am not long for this world
 The reaper came calling on me
 I just pretended that no one was home
 There's still some things I have to see
 Before I feel free
 To step on that train feeling no pain
 And in my dreamtime I still smell the rain
 Can I hear some knockin' at my door
 Now don't say it's all over
 Can I pay for just a little more
 Small price to be free
