We were sitting at the bar
I told her I'd been divorced 10 years
She asked if I never remarried
I said no, I just help my son
I said I like my freedom
I went to South America last year
I didn't have to ask permission
I just got on the plane and flew
Freedom's Great
But it can be lonely too
It's a two-sided coin
And you have to pay the price
You can't have it all
You have to pick and choose
Freedom's Great
But it can be lonely too
Rio women love Americans
Especially those with money
They treated me right
Made me feel right at home
You know I love to travel
A different country every year
There's a world full of women
I'm thinking about east Asia
Freedom's Great
But it can be lonely too
It's a two-sided coin
And you have to pay the price
You can't have it all
You have to pick and choose
Freedom's Great
But it can be lonely too
She said I like you
And I too get lonely
I lifted her in my arms
And carried her upstairs.
