Yeah, now, yeah, yeah
This song's about being from the Southland
ย
I was born in Alabama
Twenty-some odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was four years old
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of backroad
And every mile of railroad track
And I got this worn-out guitar
That I carry in an old tote sack
Said I've hocked it about two hundred times
But I always get it back
'Cause I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of backroad
Every mile of railroad track
Ah yeah
ย
Got a girl in Cincinnati
I got a woman in San Antone
Said I always loved the girl next door
Well, any old place is home
I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of backroad
And every mile of railroad track
Ah, get it boy
ย
Yeah, we're about to play the national anthem
ย
Well, you may not like my appearance
And you may not like my song, baby
Well, you may not like the way I talk
You'll like the way I'm gone
I'm a freeborn man
And my home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every inch of highway
Every foot of backroad
Every mile of railroad track
Every mile of railroad track
Ah, look what happened
