I Wish I Was Free

I wish I was free but I'm stuck in this seat With my long plaid skirt and socks up to the knee Learning about latin and geometry But there's so many places I'd rather be I wish I was on a plane, a cute boy in the seat next to me He would tell me about where he's from and places he's seen While I smiled and listened contentedly I wish I was on a boat, the ocean beneath my feet My face in the sun, my hands in the breeze A sailor would tell me old fishermen's tales While I looked out and saw the majestic whales I wish I was on a mountain with no one around Just me and my feelings, free to scream out loud My desire to leave and see things of every kind My need for a way to leave this world behind But I met this boy, I don't know his name He has a pickup truck and a smile on his face Says he'll take me for a ride, show me the sights Let me run wild, I'll be free by tonight
