Ballad Of The Free Bird (feat. A Tribe Of Horsman) [Album Version]

I'm a two-step dancin' ramblin' man Tokin' on numbers with calloused hands And I hail from the hollars down where the good times roll Papaw said life is a bitch And you might end up face down in the ditch If you walk my path, livin' a life of sin When he was young, you know he sewed his seeds Drinkin' that liquor and smokin' the weed And burnin' down the honky-tonks when the sun went down Screamin' in the night so lonely and cold At the top of your lungs that are black as coal Lookin' for a lover to ease my homesick bones Some call me a free bird And one day I'll get what I deserve No, I won't make it down alive Raisin' hell and livin' my life Raisin' hell and livin' my life And when it comes to love, you know I've had the best I got a woman back home and a woman out west From the haunted deserts to the hills of Tennessee And you give 'em your love, but then they want your soul So you slip away before the rooster crows Just runnin' them roads through another nowhere town And you know it's hard for a restless soul when you wanna leave, but you can't let go You can fly away, but you're just a brick out of that cage I'm a mountain son with a lonesome sound I'm southern bred, southern bound The whiskey burns, you better change your wicked ways Some call me a free bird One day I'll get what I deserve No, I won't make it out alive Raisin' hell and livin' my life Raisin' hell and livin' my life Some call me a free bird One day I'll get what I deserve No, I won't make it out alive Raisin' hell and livin' my life Raisin' hell and livin' my life
