Kris Kristofferson Lyrics for Song: Broken Freedom Song
 Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2009]
 
 
 
 33072>(Kris Kristofferson)
 
 
 
 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...
