Takin’ Liberties

Some people call me a rebel,
Some people call me a red,
One time I'd lie awake and worry
Just exactly what it was I'd said.
I may be older, I may be wiser,
but these days I sleep peaceful in my bed

Because I'm takin' liberties, takin' liberties, taking liberties with me.
Yes, I'm takin' liberties, there's nobody else I'd rather be, I'm takin' liberties with me.

I never climbed any mountain,
I never wanted much to try.
Don't need to live in a bird cage
Wonderin' what it feels like to fly.
Now I soar just like an Eagle,
And I'm dropping little presents from the sky.

Because I'm takin' liberties, takin' liberties, taking liberties with me.
Yes, I'm takin' liberties, there's nobody else I'd rather be, I'm takin' liberties with me.

Takin' liberties, I've got my own authority,
Takin liberties, nobody that I oughtta be,
Takin liberties - FEELIN' FREE..
Takin' liberties with me.

Don't need no misunderstanding,
I've got no rationals to pay.
I've got no knees, I've got no standing..
What's the big attraction anyway?
As I roll into the sunset,
there's just one more thing I gotta say, it's that I'm

Takin' liberties, takin' liberties, taking liberties with me.
Yes, I'm takin' liberties, there's nobody else I'd rather be, I'm takin' liberties with me.

Takin' liberties, I've got my own authority,
Takin liberties, nobody that I oughtta be,
Takin liberties - FEELIN' FREE..
Takin' liberties with me.
