Elton John — Philadelphia Freedom

[Verse 1] I used to be a rollin' stone, you know If a cause was right I'd leave to find the answer on the road I used to be a heart beatin' for someone But the times have changed The less I say, the more my work gets done [Chorus] 'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom From the day that I was born, I've waved the flag Philadelphia freedom took me knee--high to a man, yeah Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had [Post-Chorus] Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love ya Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine the light, shine the light Shine the light, won't you shine the light? Philadelphia freedom, I lo-o-ove ya Yes, I do [Verse 2] If you choose to, you can live your life alone Some people choose the city (Some people choose the city) Some others choose the good old family home (Some others choose the good old family home) I like livin' easy without family ties ('Livin easy) Til the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me Right between the eyes [Chorus] 'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom From the day that I was born, I've waved the flag Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had [Post-Chorus] Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me, I love ya Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine the light, shine the light Shine the light, won't you shine the light? Philadelphia freedom, I lo-o-ove ya, yes I do [Post-Chorus] Oh, Philadelphia freedom, shine on me I love ya Shine the light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine the light, shine the light Shine the light, won't you shine the light? Philadelphia freedom, I lo-o-ove ya You know I lo-o-ove ya, yeah You know I lo-o-ove you, yes I do! [Outro] (Philadelphia freedom) I lo-o-ove you, yes I do, Philadelphia freedom You know that I lo-o-ove you, yes I do! (Philadelphia freedom) Oh, don't you know that I lo-o-ove you, yes I do!
