Liberty in a Bathrobe
Van Gogh's Grandsons
Life’s Not Always Unfair · Wealth and Freedom · Modern Yacht Pop
#VERSE
What’s it like to live
On a world-class yacht?
Cause that’s the life
Liberty Smith just got
How’d a backwoods woman
Snag a billionaire?
Liberty has her answer
“Life’s not always unfair”
#PRE-CHORUS
And as the yacht cruises through
New York Harbor
From the bedroom, that statue looks even larger
#CHORUS
She’s a symbol of freedom
A symbol of wealth
A billionaire’s wife
Who’s quite proud of herself
Eats breakfast in bed
As they travel the globe
Liberty in a bathrobe
Liberty in a bathrobe
#VERSE
She hears the staff giggling
Out in the hall
Wants in on the jokes
But they put up brick walls
Won’t talk when she’s near them
Though they’re close to her age
Her man comes back tonight
Until then she’ll just wait
#PRE-CHORUS
She marvels at heated tile floors on this boat
Matches the warm words that flow from his throat
#CHORUS
She’s a symbol of freedom
A symbol of wealth
Free to do what she wants
Mostly all by herself
Stares out those tall windows
As they travel the globe
Liberty in a bathrobe
Liberty in a bathrobe
#BRIDGE
He walks in the bedroom
Gives her a kiss
Rubs her shoulders so slowly
Says, “Libby, you’re what I’ve missed”
Romance starts to build
But only goes so far
She pours a strong gin and tonic
From the huge bedroom bar
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
Best seats in the house
For a Broadway show
Flew in Angie from back home
’Cause he couldn’t go
Emergency meetings
Out in L.A.
He said, “Libby, I love you
But this deal’s underway”
#PRE-CHORUS
And as the yacht cruises out
From New York Harbor
The bedroom floor that she paces
Feels even larger
#CHORUS
She’s a symbol of freedom
A symbol of wealth
Best friend Angie flew home
Got too overwhelmed
Libby watches the skyline
Fade to black all alone
Liberty in a bathrobe
Liberty in a bathrobe
#CHORUS
She’s a symbol of freedom
A symbol of wealth
Free to do what she wants
Mostly sits by herself
Her dream burned so brightly
Now the fire has slowed
Liberty in a bathrobe
Liberty in a bathrobe
#OUTRO
Life’s not always unfair
And not always cold
Liberty in a bathrobe
