"Freedom Was a Highway" is a song recorded by American country music singers Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley, released on February 1, 2021, as the second single from Allen's second studio album Bettie James Gold Edition.

[4] Allen also commented: "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.

"[5] Tom Roland of Billboard commented "Freedom Was a Highway" has a yearning, driving power that would fit the soundtrack of a 1980s coming-of-age movie.

This accomplishment also tied Paisley with Brooks & Dunn and Toby Keith for the tenth most number one singles on the chart.
