Stay Free Lyrics
And there comes a time
when you when you aughta know
well it's stormy outside
so quit, so quit all that runnin'
were birds on the street
oh the sweat in your pores
oh stay free
money, the sundown
stiff on their knees
oh beautiful ponyies
so beautiful
they'll kill us all.
lets hide ourselfs together
down under the stairs
don't you leave
oh hey what did they say,
to get you so lonesome today?
oh hey restless brown eyes,
don't you sound.
and there comes a time
when you, when you aughta know
oh there comes a time
so quit, so quit all that runnin'
were fire in the sky
oh the death at your door
oh stay free
when you when you aughta know
well it's stormy outside
so quit, so quit all that runnin'
were birds on the street
oh the sweat in your pores
stiff on their knees
oh beautiful ponyies
so beautiful
they'll kill us all.
down under the stairs
to get you so lonesome today?
don't you sound.
when you, when you aughta know
oh there comes a time
so quit, so quit all that runnin'
oh the death at your door
oh stay free

Stay Free is about a struggle. Notice that there are times when "stay free" is said, and times when "don't you leave" is said. The song is about wanting to hold on to a person who is destined to be free no matter how you feel or what you say, that person will always be free.
You just have to let them be free - after all, that's where their beauty really lies.
A great song. Very neil young like American ballad like to me I love the lines that open and close it there comes a time when you oughta know to stop running and stay free great high notes , goes well with the mood
