lyrics

Colours on the street
Red white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes

But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan but I'm to them
so I try to forget it anyway I can

[Chorus]
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can

Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
That's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool

[Chorus]
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder gentler machine gun hand

We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive

[Chorus]
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD

David Woodard Nashville, Tennessee

David Woodard returns with GET IT GOOD, a full-length effort full of his trademark sugar-sweet melodies and harmonies. There is much more here than throwbacks to the Liverpool’s favorite sons. David influences are often on his sleeve as overtones of Fountains of Wayne, Cheap Trick, Big Star, The Rolling Stones, and even boygenius trickle from your speakers like familiar friends. ... more
