Down South

Hard rain on my windshield
Cats and dogs tonight
I am choked with tears, and I'm up to my ears
In pulling through the night
I'm turning off by a back road
Reminding me of home
There's no winning post at the end of this road
And I know it won't lead me to Rome
"Freedom, oh freedom
Freedom is what you need
Well I don't know the reason of this old treason
Freedom is what you need
I will blame it on youth while you're claiming the truth
That freedom is what you need
What you need.."
My consciousness it is flickering
And fluttering all about
As the wipers are rapidly hammering
And banging my head with doubt
Was it ever real or never
Was it meaningless all from the start
This hard rain will fall forever
As the splints from my broken heart
