Free (And On Our Own) -

Rosemarie says that there ain’t no justice

And I guess I agree

Rosemary is my older sister

What she tells me I believe

We wake up in another bus stop

Where people get a bite to eat

The drivers says that we can walk around outside but

I stay and watch rosemary sleeping

And we’re free and on our own

Now we’re free and on our own

It’s not like what I thought it’d be

It’s not like what I thought it’d be

Our mother’s gone away to prison

All because of a box of weeds

Michael hid it in there with my toys

When he thought that I was sleeping

And we’re never going back to that home on greene street

Now we’re on our way to Tennessee

Rosemarie can sing like a bird or an angel

You should hear the way she sings to me

And we’re free and on our own

Now we’re free and on our own

It’s not like what I thought it’d be

It’s not like what I thought it’d be

I’ll be good, I’ll be good

I’m lonely, but I’m not alone

I’ll be good, I’ll be good

Until my mother comes home

Rosemarie says that there ain’t no justice

Just us, and I guess I agree

It’s morning now and we’re safe and away

From that awful evil place

And I don’t know where we’re going to be

But I love my sister Rosemarie

And we’re free and on our own

Now we’re free and on our own

It’s not like what I thought it’d be

It’s not like what I thought it’d be
