about

Following the one-year anniversary of Oh To Be That Free, Michaela Anne reimagines the title track with Chris Eldridge (Grammy award winning guitarist and member of Punch Brothers). Recorded at Vacationland, this version of the song features Michaela’s soaring vocals and Critter’s deft acoustic guitar work. It’s a catchy, acoustic spin on the hook laden song. The cover image features Michaela and her niece, Tiger Rose, whose barefoot escapades inspired the lyrics to the song.

lyrics

Barefoot running through the green pastures
smiling at her mom and dad
Sun kissed skin, no t-shirt
grass stains covering her legs

Mama’s looking on at her grandbaby
It’s a summertime cookout
Gazing at the one named for wild things
Family’s all around

Oh to be that free again
Oh to be that free
Never looking back never looking on
It’s the only way to be free

Climbing up fence posts running under cows
not fearing what could be there
Pulling up weeds to fill bouquets
Wrapped in twine to share

Sugar maples standing tall in the grove
Cedar trees lend their shade
Calls from the porch for Tiger Rose
Through the woods she hears her name

Oh to be that free again
Oh to be that free
Never looking back never looking on
It’s the only way to be free

Stars come out with the fireflies
Cool breeze chills the air
Freshly bathed under full moonlight
Fire burns downstairs
Chorus
Oh to be that free again
Oh to be that free
Never looking back never looking on
It’s the only way to be free
