I was born in the south land |
|
Twenty some odd years ago |
|
I ran away for the first time |
|
When I was three years old |
|
I'm a free born man |
|
My home is on my back |
|
I know every inch of highway |
|
Every foot of backroad |
|
Every mile of railroad track |
|
Well I got this old guitar |
|
Well I carry it in an old tote sack |
|
Well I hawked it about a hundred times but |
|
I always get it back |
|
I'm a free born man |
|
My home is on my back |
|
I know every inch of highway |
|
Every foot of backroad |
|
Every mile of railroad track |
|
Well you may not like my appearance |
|
An' you may not like my song |
|
Well you may not like the way |
|
I talk But you like the way |
|
I'm gone I'm a free born man |
|
My home is on my back |
|
I know every inch of highway |
|
Every foot of backroad |
|
Every mile of railroad track |
