Lyrics JJ Grey & Mofro – Santa Claus, True Love And Freedom

Off and to the right, the fade of the light, I’m watching the sun go down Over the fields, we see the one, that little girl to make, make my heart pound (yes she do)
But don’t you know that that’s forbidden, son you better get rid of them ideas, they’ll lead to a hangin’

When I was young
You know that I believed

Pushin’ back the fear, sneakin’ off to see her, and we’d dream to leave this land
Then her family would say, boy ya better stay away, if your daddy finds out you’re a dead man
Leave me to die, my way my time, how can a man Lord chain a man

When I was young
You know that I believed
In Santa Claus, true love, and freedom

Those days are gone
Might as well leave them be
No more Santa Claus, true love, and freedom
