Lyrics:

Off and to the right, the fade of the light
I'm watching the sun go down over the fields
We see the one that little girl to make, make my heart pound
(Yes, she do)
But don't you know that that's forbidden?
Son, you better get rid of them ideas
They'll lead to a hangin'

When I was young, you know that I believed
In Santa Claus, true love and freedom

Pushin' back the fear, sneakin' off to see her
And we'd dream to leave this land
Then her family would say, boy, yo better stay away
If your daddy finds out you're a dead man
Leave me to die, my way my time
How can a man, Lord, chain a man?

When I was young, you know that I believed
In Santa Claus, true love and freedom
Those days are gone, might as well leave them be
No more Santa Claus, true love and freedom
