freedom came my way that night just like a jet plane in and out of sight i was hauling ass at a million miles an hour wondering how hard i d hit when they came into the station they said i was bad beyond repair but i got no qualms with my situation say here i am so say cheri cheri won t you dare to say cheri cheri won t you dare to leave a message and your number please tie them up all my old fantasies put them in a big red bow and send them care of me i m taking a chance on the wind i m packing all my bags taking a mistake i gotta make then i m glory bound so i packed it up and i went to the winds and i lived out of a vw bus for a year or two ain t nothing but a pipe dream and my guitar livin off of apple fields and old cigars diggin this microphone checking it out every night all alone the car battery is dead again so i got my head dead set against it so say cheri cheri won t you dare to say cheri cheri won t you dare to leave a message and your number please take the time to want to satisfy me take all those fantasies and send them care of me chorus
