Wild and Free

Nearly four decades I have been driftin’

From town to town, job to job, no family

I settled down a time or two, always left me feelin’ blue

Can’t fence me in, I’m runnin’ wild and runnin’ free.

Free to run, rope and ride, from time to time I run and hide

From the law, from a woman chasin’ me

Ain’t got a dime to my name, not a penny’s worth of shame

On the run, runnin’ wild and runnin’ free

I trade my labor for a room and a bottle

In a town where nobody knows my name

Never get the urge to stay, make few friends along the way

Just saddle up, and I head out on the range

Free to run, rope and ride, from time to time I run and hide

From the law, from a woman chasin’ me

Ain’t got a dime to my name, not a penny’s worth of shame

I’m on the run, runnin’ wild and runnin’ free

There’s no one waitin’ up for me when the sun sets

Solitaire, is my game it’s plain to see

I call my home most anyplace, all I’ve got is my own space

Don’t give a damn, ‘cause I know I’ll always be

Free to run, rope and ride, from time to time I run and hide

From the law, from a woman chasin’ me

Ain’t got a dime to my name, not a penny’s worth of shame

I’m on the run, runnin’ wild and runnin’ free

Can’t tie me down I’m runnin’ wild and runnin’ free
