I Wanna Be Free
Breaking Chains of Love: Loretta Lynn's Quest for Freedom
Lyrics
Well, I look out the window and what do I see
Observing the outside world through the window.
The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees
The wind is blowing leaves off the trees.
Everything is free everything but me
Feeling restricted while everything else seems free.
I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger
Expressing a desire to remove a symbolic chain from her finger.
Throw it just as far as I can slinger
Throwing the chain away as a symbol of liberation.
'Cause I want to be free
Expressing a strong desire to be free.
When my baby left me everything died
Feeling a sense of loss after a breakup.
But a little bluebird's a singin' just outside
Noticing a bluebird singing, possibly symbolizing hope.
Singin' twidle-de-dee, fly away with me
Referencing a carefree attitude, inviting someone to fly away together.
Well, you know I think I'ma gonna live
Expressing a determination to live despite challenges.
Gotta lotta love left in my heart to give
Believing there is still love to give.
And I want to be free
Reiterating the desire for freedom.
I've released my heart my soul and my mind and I'ma feelin' fine
Emphasizing the release of heart, soul, and mind, feeling good.
I broke the chain the ring of gold 'fore it broke my mind
Breaking free from a symbolic ring of gold before it affects the mind.
Well look who's cryin' and it ain't me
Observing someone else crying, not the singer.
'Cause I can't hardly hear and I can't have see
Experiencing impaired hearing and sight, perhaps metaphorical.
Did I want to be free?
Pondering if freedom was truly desired.
I've released my heart my soul and my mind and I'ma feelin' fine
Repeating the theme of feeling fine after releasing heart, soul, and mind.
I broke the chain the ring of gold before it broke my mind
Reiterating breaking free from a symbolic ring of gold.
Well look who's cryin' and it ain't me
Observing someone else crying, not the singer.
'Cause I can't hardly hear and I can't have see
Experiencing impaired hearing and sight, perhaps metaphorical.
Did I want to be free?
Pondering if freedom was truly desired.
Do I want to be free?
Questioning the desire for freedom.
Yeah, I wanna be free
Affirming the strong desire to be free.
Free
Repeating the desire for freedom.
