Story Behind the Song
This song actually began life in 1995 but wasn't completed until September 2001...2 months after my wife told me she wanted a divorce.
Lyrics
She has every right to not want me around.
She has every right to be feeling let down.
She has every right to see other men.
And she has every right to be a young girl again.
She is Free, to do what she wants.
Free, now what we had is gone.
She has every right to go fooling around.
And she has every right to go painting the town.
It's all right for her, but it isn't for me.
And she never cried when she told me to leave.
Now She's Free, to do what she wants.
Free, now what we had is gone.
I have every right to feel like a mess.
Can't find an excuse for not feeling depressed.
Now I still regret all the things I have done.
And she has every right to feel like she's won.
She is Free, to do what she wants.
Free, now what we had is gone.
A tall dark stranger, from a foreign land
He stole her heart, the moment he touched her hand.
He filled her longing, exotic and unrefined.
I never noticed, where she spent her time...
We had every right to share a great life.
And she was all that I needed when she was my wife.
But I took for granted she'd always be there.
Somehow he convinced her that I didn't care.
Now they're Free, to do what they want.
Free, now what we had is gone.
She is Free, to do what she wants.
Free, now what we had is gone.
It's gone.
