Free As I Wanna Be
Verse 1 (Mid-Tempo melody; mix of Acoustic, Electric and Slide Guitars, with crisp drums)

I thought my life was all about loving you
But you moved on, there was nothing I could do
I wasted so much time blaming myself
But sittin' alone at home won't help
So tonight I'm goin' out on the town
The rest of my life starts right now
It's time to be...

Chorus:
Happy again, make some friends, live my life
Have some fun, and push you out of my mind
I'm gonna go party all night, won't look back
Forget everything we had
Find the old me I used to be
I'm free as I wanna be
I'm free as I wanna be

Verse 2:
I'm drinkin' a margarita in this bar
Everyone is spinnin' on the dance floor
The bartender says to me "Why you look so sad"
I tell him "I lost the only love I've ever had"
He shakes his head and gives me a smile
He grins and says, "Your life ain't over, not by a country mile."
I look at the dance floor then back at him and smile
It's time to be...

Chorus:

(Electric guitar solo with slide guitar)

Bridge:
I'm gonna dance
Take a chance
Maybe even start a new romance, and
And find the old me I used to be
I'm free as I wanna be… (x4)
