Broken down and funky saloons
That's where I've been playing my tunes
Talkers and brawlers, pick-ups and callers
Talking through my song
Gotta leave before too long
A song could set me free (Sweet #1)
I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1)

Customers they sit around
And treat me like I'm someone they owned
I'm singing their songs
Corny and square songs
Miss my rock 'n' roll
Need a song to soothe my soul
I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1)
A song could set me free (Sweet #1)

Honey, out here the nights are lonely
Out here away from you
Baby, you know I love you only
But I got to pay my dues
Now I got this dream and with my songs
I'm gonna make it come true for me and for you
I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1)
A song could set me free (Sweet #1)

Broken down and funky saloons
That's where I've been playing my tunes
Talkers and brawlers, pick-ups and callers
Talking through my song
Gotta leave before too long
A song could set me free (Sweet #1)
I need a hit to make me free (Sweet #1)
