"Free"
We could let this love be the fading sky
And we could drift all night until the new sunrise
Pass me a drink or maybe two
One for me and one for you
And we'll be free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Here comes corner winds and the changin' tide
We better drop them sails and get inside
When will the weather ever let us go?
I guess we'll have to wait until the trade winds blow
When we'll be free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
There's nothing in between
What we are, what we see
There's nothing in between
What we are, what we see, what we are
We are just
On a life boat sailin' home
With our drunken hearts and our tired bones
Well I just take one last look around
Yeah and every place feels like a familiar town
And now we're free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
And dontcha wanna be
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
From time to time a little
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
(Hey now now)
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
I know you know your
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Feels so good to be
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Mmm mmm mmm
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
We could let this love be the fading sky
And we could drift all night until the new sunrise
Pass me a drink or maybe two
One for me and one for you
And we'll be free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Here comes corner winds and the changin' tide
We better drop them sails and get inside
When will the weather ever let us go?
I guess we'll have to wait until the trade winds blow
When we'll be free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
There's nothing in between
What we are, what we see
There's nothing in between
What we are, what we see, what we are
We are just
On a life boat sailin' home
With our drunken hearts and our tired bones
Well I just take one last look around
Yeah and every place feels like a familiar town
And now we're free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
And dontcha wanna be
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
From time to time a little
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
(Hey now now)
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
I know you know your
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Feels so good to be
Free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Mmm mmm mmm

Notes
Donavon Frankenreiter wrote this song with Jack Johnson, who produced his self-titled debut album and also performed on this track. Frankenreiter says, "I wrote that on a boat in Indo when I was around 28-29 years old. It was reworked when I had a chance to record it and re-write it with Jack Johnson - together we came up with the final version of the song. It's one of my favorites for sure."
Like Johnson, Frankenreiter is a dedicated surfer- he turned pro when he was 16. He was in his late 20s when Johnson encouraged him to record an album, which kick-started his music career. "Free" embodies the laid-back spirit of surfing, a carefree adventure on the water. Even if things don't go as planned, you're still free.
