freeborn man

i was born in the southland

twenty-some odd years ago

i left home for the first time honey

when i was four years old

i'm a freeborn man

home is on my back

i know every inch of highway

every foot of back road

every mile of railroad track. i got a lady in cincinnati

a woman in san anton'

i always love the girl next door

honey

every place is home

i'm a freeborn man

home is on my back

i know every inch of highway

every foot of back road

every mile of railroad track. you may not like the way i look

you may not like my song

you may not like the way i live

you'll love the way i'm gone

i'm a freeborn man

home is on my back

i know every inch of highway

every foot of back road

every mile of railroad

every mile of railroad

every mile of railroad track
