Lyrics
<strong><font size="3">Running Free <br /><br /></font></strong><font size="1">(all words and music by Don Charbonneau) <br /></font>This song is dedicated to the memory of a great Canadian folk hero Terry Fox. <br />Note: We kept the arrangements simple with just voice, acoustic guitar and electric bass played by my son Noel who also provided the wonderful back ground vocals. This song was recorded live off the floor at Easter Island Studio in Sudbury in August 2005. My wife Jude inspired me to write this song and paid for its production! <br /><br /><br />It’s cold out on this highway <br />Headlights coming down <br />There’s a man standing there waving at me <br />I know I’ve seen better days <br />I know I’ve seen better days <br /><br />Started out on an island <br />Newfoundland is where I’ve made my start <br />Ran across the Maritimes <br />I felt like quitting there a hundred times <br />I felt like quitting there a hundred times <br /><br />And I’m running for my life <br />And I’m running for my life <br />I’m running for you and me <br />I’m running for you and me <br /><br />When I got down to White River <br />I knew something was going wrong <br />I had a dream in Terrace Bay <br />I dreamt this pain quit chasing me <br />I dreamt this pain quit chasing me <br /><br />And I’m running for my life <br />And I’m running for my life <br />I’m running for you and me <br />And I’m running running running now <br />And I’m free <br />And I’m running running running now <br />And I’m free <br />And I’m running running running now <br />And I’m free <br /><br /><br /><br />
