My Freedom (Take It to the Limit, Don Henley / Glenn Frey / Randy Meisner)


Smokey: I want to leave. Just let me leave, Jacob. Jacob: As long as I'm alive, you're not going anywhere.
Smokey: Well then, now you know why I want to kill you. - Ab Aeterno

Smokey has one simple request for Jacob, but Jacob is not budging. Here's the two of them to the tune of the Eagles' Take It to the Limit.

My Freedom

Smokey: All alone at the end of an era.
No one left here with me except you.
I was thinking that you might have considered
What I long to do.
You know I’ve been stuck here forever.
Jacob: I don’t have to tell you why.
Smokey:
Humans never will change.
Jacob: Always been worth a try.
Smokey: Well, you really must hate me.
I implore and you ignore me.
I abhor this old exchange.

I wanna say goodbye, friend.
Is that such a crime?
But Jacob, you begin it one more time.

Do you count all the lives you have wasted?
Will you waste all your life counting more?
In an eon, will I have to meet you
Again on the shore?
I’m only looking for my freedom.
Jacob: You’re not going anywhere.
Smokey: Don’t you gloat with that wine.
Jacob: No? ‘Cause I’m glad to share...
Smokey: Well, no matter what, I’m leaving.
If I have to kill, you know I will
Until escape is mine.

I wanna say goodbye, friend.
Is that such a crime?
But Jacob, you begin it one more time.
Jacob, you begin it
Jacob, you begin it
Jacob, you begin it one more time.

Jacob: Face it, I begin it
(Smokey: Please)
Jacob:
Face it, I begin it
(Smokey: Let me go!)
Jacob: Face it, I begin it one more time.

Jacob: Face it, I begin it
(Smokey: Please)
Jacob:
Face it, I begin it
(Smokey: Free me!)
Jacob: Face it, I begin it one more time.

Smokey:
Jacob, you begin it
Jacob, you begin it
Jacob, you begin it one more time.

Jacob: Face it, I begin it
(Smokey: Please)
Jacob:
Face it, I begin it
(Smokey: Free me!)
Jacob: Face it, I begin it one more time.

Smokey:
Jacob, you begin it
(Jacob: No!)
Smokey: Jacob, you begin it
(Jacob: No!)
Smokey: Jacob, you begin it one more time.
