Freeborn Man
(K. Allison & M. Lindsey)
I was born in the Southland
Twenty some odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was four years old.
CHO: I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know ever' inch of highway
Ever' foot of back road
Ever' mile of railroad track.
Got a gal in Cincinnati
Got a woman in San Antone
I always loved the girl next door
But anyplace is home.
Well I got this worn-out guitar
I carry in-a old tow-sack
I hocked it about two-hundred times
But I always get it back.
Well, you may not like my appearance
And you may not like my song
You may not like the way I talk
But you'll like the way I'm gone.
