right here with me

i pack my bags

shrug off the rain

scattered on the interstate

i call out your name

telephone lines

getting me down

i been so outta touch i lost my phone there back in town

mortgage due

pay back my loans

pay them by the us mail

a thousand miles from home

you should be

so wild and free

right here with me

i drag myself

right outta bed

another roach motel

don't touch the bed spread

that's what you say

when you come along

looking for a laundromat in a town i don't belong

another dram

a drop of tears

drag the colorado up and back for all these years

where you should be

so wild and free

right here with me

right here with me

out here on the fringe

so wild and free

just hanging by a thread

someday i may quit this ramblin' round

but somehow

right here with me is where i want to have you now

i stretch the ties

the ties that bind

they holding in a double knot

sometimes they get so tight

it's been so long

since i been gone

blue-eyed soul blowing in the wind a song of home

oh you should be

so wild and free

right here with me
