Free Man

I sold my house, I sold my carI took a job at Milly's barI met a man who was running from the governmentAh he wants to be a free man yeahAh he wants to be a free man yeahHe took me out to his campsiteI met his friendsThey seemed alrightUntil I noticed everybody seemed real uprightThey just wanna be a free man nowThey just wanna be a free man nowThey just wanna be a free man nowPardon me manOh but who's your motherOh and didn't she sayYou should love one anotherHe showed me how to load a pieceTo shoot it straight between the teethAnd the next thing I know I think I've fallen in loveAnd I'm living with a free man nowNow I'm cooking for the free man nowHe took me out in his old truckHe told me anyone who ain't white sucksThat's when I realized I'd made a big mistakeOh I'm running from the free man nowOh I'm running from the free man nowOh I'm running from the free man nowOh but pardon me manOh who's your motherAnd didn't she teach youShe should love one anotherLate one night I snuck awayTo use the phone so I could sayI'd appreciate a little bit of governmentCause I'm married to a free man nowOh I'm married to a free man nowYeah I'm married to a free man nowWell I'm married to a free man nowYeah I'm married to a free man nowOh I'm married to a free man nowI think I'm running from a free man,Running from a free man,Running from a free man nowOh I'm running from a free man nowOh I'm running from a free man now
