Freeborn Man

Yeah, now, yeah, yeah

This song's about being from the Southland

I was born in Alabama

Twenty-some odd years ago

I ran away for the first time

When I was 4 years old

I'm a freeborn man

My home is on my back

I know every inch of highway

Every foot of backroad

And every mile of railroad track

And I got this worn-out guitar

That I carry in an old tote sack

Said I've hocked it about 200 times

But I always get it back

Cause I'm a freeborn man

My home is on my back

I know every inch of highway

Every foot of backroad

Every mile of railroad track

Ah yeah

Got a girl in Cincinnati

I got a woman in San Antone

Said I always loved the girl next door

Well, any old place is home

I'm a freeborn man

My home is on my back

I know every inch of highway

Every foot of backroad

And every mile of railroad track

Ah...

Yeah, we're about to play the national anthem.

Well, you may not like my appearance

And you may not like my song, baby

Well, you may not like the way I talk

You'll like the way I'm gone

I'm a freeborn man

And my home is on my back

I know every inch of highway

Every inch of highway

Every foot of backroad

Every mile of railroad track

Every mile of railroad track

Ah...
