Jean Shepard - I Want You Free Lyrics

If my words should ever strike you like the rattlin' of chains

And my voice should ever make you long for trains and boats and planes

May I live a million years and never feel your touch again

I want you free I want you only if and when you want me

[ ac.guitar ]

If you ever get to feeling that you've stayed away too long

And something I have said makes you dread just coming home

May I live a lonely life without a love to call my own

I want you free I want you only if and when you want me

I want you free I want you free unwilling love ain't good enough for me

Though heaven knows I love your lovin' me I want you free I want you free

[ ac.guitar ]

If you ever cease you love me never think that I won't know

If you ever come to me just cause there's no place else to go

May the next one that you love destroy your spirit and your soul

I want you free I want you only if and when you want me

I want you free...
