Story behind the song
I have an UrbanDictionary.com definition on my MySpace page "About Me" section if you are further curious.
But, the lyrics do speak for themselves from my perspective.
So, keep your freak flag flyin'!
Lyrics
Freak Flag
© Ron Rutherford & Rarestar Music (ASCAP)
Verse 1
Where I’ve been
On the leading edge of the wind
Sometimes I’m down and out
Sometimes I’m up and in
I’m traveling a course
On a personal powered horse
Sunrise to sunset
Dreams with no remorse
Chorus
You can find me anytime
I’m up in the sky
With wings on my mind
I’m getting good hang time
I’m riding
Keeping my freak flag flying
Verse 2
Over my shoulder
Dark clouds are like beckoning boulders
Tear drop ghosts collide
It’s a battle of hotter colder
Get out of my way
I’m going to bail this hellish hay
Into the open
Beyond the field of prey
Chorus
Verse 3
Horns and halos
Caught in between both of those
The tail wants to wag the dog
The dog digs in and breaks the tailbones
Within all of us
Is a mission and a trust
To be the best we can be
Ready to ride and eat some dust
Verse 4
Rise or crash
Lose your shirt, find spiritual cash
My body is just a jail
Freedom is from where I hail
My flag is up the pole
My rag is pure cowboy soul
No matter what I’m told
My life’s on a says me roll
Chorus
