How Much Does It Cost - Willie Nelson

Lyrics by：Willie Nelson/Buddy Cannon

Composed by：Willie Nelson/Buddy Cannon

Produced by：Buddy Cannon

How much does it cost to be free

Free from the heartache still living in me

I've given my heart my soul and my mind

How can I pay up and quit doing time

And why am I always trying to make it all rhyme

'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be

But how much does it cost to be free

There are three sides to every story

You got yours mine and the truth

But don't worry about it

It will all come out in the wash

Maybe I'll write another hit song

Then we can all three sing along

But one thing is now clear to me

It will cost way too much to be free

How much does it cost to be free

Free from the heartache still living in me

I've given my heart my soul and my mind

How can I pay up and quit doing time

Why am I always trying to make it all rhyme

'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be

But how much does it cost to be free

Ol' Woody said"How much does all of this cost

I'll pay for it all what the heck

And oh by the way take a check"

How much does it cost to be free

Free from the heartache still living in me

I've given my heart my soul and my mind

How can I pay up and quit doing time

And why am I always trying to make it all rhyme

'Cause I'm a songwriter and always will be

But how much does it cost to be free

How much does it cost to be free
