Freeway

Got a glimpse of the freeway this morning
It's it sure looked good to her
Saw it all in the rearview mirror
Realities a blur (it's gone)
She slams the door, she cranks the key
Radio blaring, gotta be a little R&B
She's go_ne...
She's free with her soul, she's free with her money
She's free with her love; she's got so much of it
She's free with her time, she gives it to a stranger
She's go_ne and she's on her own free ...way

There was a man in Louisiana, he tried to get her love
He had cash, a house in the ‘burbs and a heart of gold
But it was not what she was dreaming of (just not enough)
She need stimulation, not not limitation
Now she's cruising through the nation in her champagne Coupe De Ville - and she will
She's free with her soul, she's free with her money
She's free with her love; she's got so much of it
She's free with her time, she gives it to a stranger
She's go_ne and she's on her own free ...way


She's free with her mind, she's free with her spirit
She's free with her laughter, listen you can hear it
She cruising down the highway 90 miles an hour
She's go_ne...

She's free with her soul, she's free with her money
She's free with her love, she's got so much of it
She's free with her time, she gives it to a stranger
She's go_ne... She's go_ne, and she's on her own free ...way (her own freeway)

Never looking back! She's on the right track! She's gone! (freeway)
Got to be on her own freeway (freeway)
Her own freeway
Got to be on her own freeway (freeway)




Her own freeway
Got to be on her own freeway

Overall Meaning

The song "Freeway" by Farmer's Daughter is about a woman who is seeking independence and freedom in various facets of her life. The lyrics describe how the woman is drawn to the idea of driving on the freeway, which offers her a sense of liberation and escape from her current reality. She sets out on a journey to explore new possibilities and experiences, even if that means leaving behind the stability and security of her previous life.


The singer of the song is characterized as someone who values her autonomy above all else, seeking stimulation and adventure instead of settling for anything less. She rejects the advances of a wealthy man who offers her material security but perceives that he is not able to fulfill her emotional or intellectual needs. Instead, she chooses to "cruise through the nation" in her coupe de ville, taking control of her life and seeking out her own path.


"Freeway" is a song that celebrates individual freedom and the desire to chart one's own course in life. It speaks to how sometimes we need to break free of limitations and conventions in order to live the life that we want, even if that means leaving behind those who may not understand or support our choices.
