The Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley Freedom Was a Highway song released on February 1, 2021 as a single to country radio, and was from Allen’s first EP “Bettie James”.
Allen commented about the song: “When I was writing this song with my co-writers, I imagined myself driving down my favorite roads in Delaware. This song takes me back to simpler moments such as an innocent, childhood crush on the next-door neighbor or feeling freedom in the wind as you drive with the windows down. I’ve loved this song from the creation.”
Paisley said: “I was honored when Allen asked me to join him on the song. It’s a magical combination – it doesn’t sound like a typical record for me at all and when I come in, I try my best not to ruin Jimmie’s song, I use my guitar to make a record sort of sound like I’m on it even before you hear me sing, and I love this guitar solo. I’m really proud to be a part of ‘Freedom Was A Highway’ and I’m excited for people to hear it

The song was co-written by Matt Rogers, Ash Bowers and Jimmie Allen.
Sunset through a windshield, I can see it now
Like a picture in a frame (picture in a frame), oh
Blue jeans and t-shirts, who we were
We wore it like a name (like a name)
I wish I could go back to those days
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams were there for chasin’
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin’ for a Friday
And freedom was a highway (oh)
Freedom was a highway (oh)
Barbwire on a fence post with a crosswind
On a road no one was on (no one was on), yeah, yeah, yeah
Five-deep with our hands up, just singin’ along to a hip-hop song
I wish I could rewind and replay
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams were there for chasin’
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin’ for a Friday
And freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway
When you’re seventeen and drivin’
You don’t think about the road runnin’ out
No, no, no, no
You just keep your eyes on that horizon
‘Cause you’re wrapped up in now (ooh)
Hey, ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah, whoo
I wish I could go back to those days
When the town was the whole world
And love was the girl next door
Soundtrack was a song in the dark
I miss those days when our dreams were there for chasin’
But time was better wasted
We were summer young and livin’ for a Friday
And freedom was a highway (freedom was a highway)
Freedom was a highway, baby, yeah
Freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway
Freedom was a highway (oh)
