[00:00.00]Broken Freedom Song - Kris Kristofferson
[00:15.73]Got a song about a soldier
[00:29.52]Ridin' somewhere on a train
[00:33.14]Empty sleeve pinned to his shoulder
[00:36.57]And some pills to ease the pain
[00:42.56]Started drinkin' in El Paso
[00:50.24]He was drunk in San Antone
[01:00.18]Tellin' strangers who were sleepin'
[01:03.61]How he hated goin' home
[01:17.06]Just a simple song of freedom
[01:18.68]He was never fightin' for
[01:23.55]No one's listenin' when you need 'em
[01:29.35]Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
[01:45.40]Got a song about a sister
[01:48.33]Waitin' somewhere by the phone
[01:57.12]For some man who never missed her
[02:01.68]Ever since he come and gone
[02:09.30]And its harder for a woman
[02:15.55]With a baby on the way
[02:23.39]That's the price of bein' human
[02:28.83]When you're poor enough to pay
[02:36.34]So she listens to the freedom
[02:42.17]In the silence at her door
[02:48.93]No one's missin' till you need 'em
[02:57.32]Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
[03:09.43]Got a song about a Savior
[03:18.29]Lookin' lonesome and afraid
[03:25.35]At a city full of strangers
[03:30.17]And a cross He never made
[03:37.60]And He's sadder than He's wiser
[03:46.03]And a longer way from home
[03:54.53]And He wonders why His Father
[03:57.83]Left Him bleeding and alone
[04:05.04]Just a broken song of freedom
[04:13.34]And the closing of a door
[04:19.36]No one's missin' till you need 'em
[04:24.69]Ain't no fun to sing that song no more
