Not Far From Free - Don Harrison [1977]

(6/8)
Lyrics:
I've invested thirty-three
Years of my life into me
It don't take long
My friends, don't take long
I've got one more kick in me
It might last eternally
And be damn strong, oh yeah
And be damn strong
I hear the country callin' me
Through the pines, I hear a rhapsody
They're singin' my song
They're singin' my song
Cause I'm not far from free
If being free means being where you wanna be
Seems I'm not far from free, you an' me
When I'm here with you
And you're with me
Like treasure under the sea
Drowned in tranquility
It don't take long
Oh no, don't take too long
Like the mountains and the sky
They stand together like you and I
We're gonna be strong, yes love
We're gonna be strong
And through the years I've learned to see
What will be if you let it be
Right or wrong, yeah
Right or wrong
Cause I'm not far from free
If being free means being where you wanna be
Seems I'm not far from free, you an' me
When I'm here with you
And you're with me
I've invested thirty-three
Years of my life into me
It didn't take long, oh no
It didn't take long
Cause I'm not far from free
If being free means being where you wanna be
Seems I'm not far from free, you an' me
When I'm here with you
And you're with me

Harrison's only(?) album following the demise of his band with Russell Dashiell, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford. This is a great track.
