Free as I'll ever be

It's no surprise that Zac Brown Band is one of my favorite band's.  I've been following them for a few years now.  When I purchased their first CD, they wrote me back to explain that it, unfortunately, would not be able to ship as planned.  They had just signed with  a major label.  They more than made it up to me by offering an instant digital download of the album.  When the CD's were finally manufactured, they sent me two and they both were autographed by the band.  I felt a connection with the song "Free" immediately.  It's about living in a van.  How cool is that?  The version below he added a little of "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison through the bridge.  Somewhere along the way, I read that Zac had written this song from a trip he took to Austrailia.  It was just him and some friends backpacking.  As he got off the plane, he told his friends that without all the responsibilities, he guessed he was as free as he'd ever be.

Free (Into The Mystic) - Zac Brown Band

So we live out in our old van

Travel all across this land

Me and you

We'll end up hand in hand

Somewhere down on the sand

Just me and you

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

We'll drive until the city lights

Dissolve into a country sky

Just me and you

Lay underneath the harvest moon

Do all the things that lovers do

Just me and you

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

and ever ---- be

We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

And the bonnie boat was won

That we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

Oh, let your soul and spirit fly, into the mystic

When that fog horn blows

You know I will be comin' home

When that fog horn blows

I want to feel it

I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul

just like way back in the days of old

And together we will float, into the mystic

No we don't have a lot of money

No we don't have a lot of money

No we don't have a lot of money

No we don't have a lot of money

No we don't have a lot of money

No we don't have a lot of money

No we don't have a lot of money

All we need is love

We're free as we'll ever be

Just as free

Free as we'll ever be

So we'll live out in our old van

Travel all across this land

Me and you
