I place a small bet 
I lose with no regret and close the door 
I light a cigarette 
I bite the bullet to taste the war 
I'm all used up 
Though I've got gas to burn 

Another cigarette 
I down the whiskey and get one more 
Outside the sunset 
I see the silhouettes and silently adore 
For the first time 
Since my return 

I'm free, free from the chains now 
There's hope, will, strength, direction 
Now I can live without you, without you 
Now I can live 

It's been a long ride 
It took a long time, been down on all fours 
I've been to blue eyed 
I've tried to hide nevermore 
Lord, have mercy for me to learn 

I'm free, free from the chains now...
