about

A Blues/Surf 'n' Roll number about making sure those around you make you feel genuinely free to be you.

lyrics

Free to be Me

I may be running more these days
But I'm no longer running away
I feel at home in the company I keep
As for the past I'm not loosing sleep
'Cause I'm free to be me
Yes I'm free to be me

These little hang-ups that tug at my sleeve
I just take my shirt off and ask them to leave
Big black dog isn't welcome anymore
I still hear him scratching at my door
But I'm free to be me
Yes I'm free to be me

It might have taken 40 years
But I'm happy in my skin
I'm taking better care of myself
But I'm still open to sin
You'll still find me in the bar at night
But I'm not drinking alone
I'm talking with the people in my life
Not just the people in my phone
'Cause I'm free to be me

What's the moral of the story then
No conclusions yet
But if you hug me and make me smile
I'm forever in your debt
'Cause I'm free to be me
Yes I'm free to be me

If you take me as I am
Treat me with respect
My heart becomes a mirror then
The kindness will reflect
'Cause I'm free to be me
Yes I'm free to be me

Guess the message is thank you
To your own selves be true
And all you delicious freaks out there
I couldn't do it without you
So come join the celebration
Of this thing called life
Take a moment to step outside
All the trouble and strife
'Cause we're free to party
Yes we're free to party
Yes we're free to party
Yes we're free to party
