(Verse 1)
(G)Sunset through a windshield, I can see it now
Like a picture in a (F)frame, (Picture in a frame, oh, oh, oh. oh)
(G)Blue jeans and t-shirts, who we were, we wore it (Am)like a (F)name (Like a name)
I wish I could go back to those days

(Chorus)
When the (G)town was the whole world
And love was the (G)girl (Am)next door (F)
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those (F)days when (Am)our (G)dreams were there for chasin'
But (G)time was better wasted
(Am)We were (F)summer young and livin' for a Friday
And (F)freedom (Am)was a (G)highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Freedom (Am)was a (F)highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh) (Am)

(Verse 2)
(G)Barbwire on a fencepost with a crosswind on a road no one was (F)on (No one was on)
Yeah, (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(G)Five deep with our hands up, just singin' along to a hip-hop (F)song
I wish I could rewind and replay

(Chorus)
When the (G)town was the whole world
And love was the (G)girl (Am)next door (F)
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those (G)days when (Am)our (G)dreams were there for chasin'
But (G)time was better wasted
We (Am)were (F)summer young and livin' for a Friday
And (F)freedom (Am)was a (G)highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Freedom (Am)was a (F)highway (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

(Bridge)
When you're (G)seventeen and drivin’, you don't think about the road runnin' out (F)
No, no, no, no
(G)You just keep your eyes on that horizon
'Cause you're (F)wrapped up in now (Ooh, ooh)
Hey (F) (Am) (Ooh, (G)yeah)

(Pre-Chorus)
(F)I wish I could go back to those days (Am)

(Chorus)
When the (G)town was the whole world and love was the girl (Am)next door
(F) Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when (Am)our (F)dreams (G) were there for chasin'
But (G)time was better wasted
(Am)We were (F)summer young and livin' for a Friday
And (F)freedom (Am)was a (G)highway (Freedom was a highway)
(G)Freedom (Am)was a (F)highway (Freedom was a highway, baby)
