Philadelpia Freedom - Ike & Tina Turner

I used to be a rollin' stone, you know

If a cause was right

I’d leave to find the answer on the road

I used to be a heart beatin' for someone

But the times have changed

The less I say, the more my work gets done

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

From the day that I was born, I’ve waved the flag

Philadelphia freedom took me knee--high to a man, yeah

Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love ya

Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine the light, shine the light

Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?

Philadelphia freedom, I lo-o-ove ya

Yes, I do

If you choose to, you can live your life alone

Some people choose the city (Some people choose the city)

Some others choose the good old family home

(Some others choose the good old family home)

I like livin' easy without family ties ('Livin easy)

Til the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me

Right between the eyes

'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom

From the day that I was born, I’ve waved the flag

Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man

Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love ya

Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine the light, shine the light

Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?

Philadelphia freedom, I lo-o-ove ya, yes I do

Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me

I love ya

Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind

Shine the light, shine the light

Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?

Philadelphia freedom, I lo-o-ove ya

You know I lo-o-ove ya, yeah

You know I lo-o-ove you, yes I do!

(Philadelphia freedom)

I lo-o-ove you, yes I do, Philadelphia freedom

You know that I lo-o-ove you, yes I do!

(Philadelphia freedom)

Oh, don’t you know that I lo-o-ove you, yes I do!

(Philadelphia freedom)

Don’t you know that I lo-o-ove you, yes I do!

(Philadelphia freedom)

Don’t you know that I lo-o-ove you, yes I do!
