[Verse 1]
Clocked out, apron on the chair
Burger King grease in her hair
Misty’s pacing by the door
Little paws on the worn-out floor
Dishes stacked and no one cares
Same old house, same cold stares
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "I’m tired, I’m done"
"But the work just weighs one"
No walk yet, no help today
Her freedom feels so far away
[Chorus]
Let Misty run
Let Misty run
She wants the sun
She wants the sun
Free my hands
Free my heart
I just need a life that starts
Let Misty run
Let Misty run
(Free my hands)
[Verse 2]
Mom and dad got sharp words too
Making room for who they choose
She keeps quiet, bites her tongue
While another day comes undone
Tiny dog and busted heels
That’s the only real thing she feels
She dreams of grass and open air
A small brown body, light and care
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "I’m tired, I’m done"
"But the work just weighs one"
No walk yet, no help today
Her freedom feels so far away
[Chorus]
Let Misty run
Let Misty run
She wants the sun
She wants the sun
Free my hands
Free my heart
I just need a life that starts
Let Misty run
Let Misty run
(Free my hands)
[Bridge]
One day out that front door
No yelling, no scores
Just leash in her hand
And a place where she can stand
She’ll breathe out
She’ll breathe in
Take her girl and start again
[Final Chorus]
Let Misty run
Let Misty run
She wants the sun
She wants the sun
Free my hands
Free my heart
I just need a life that starts
Let Misty run
Let Misty run
(Free my hands)
