"Freeborn Man" lyrics

"Freeborn Man"
(originally by Keith Allison)

I was born in the Southland
Some twenty odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was only four years old

[Chorus:]
I'm a free born man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track

I got a gal in Cincinnati
I got a woman in San Antone
And I always love the girl next door
But anyplace is home

[Chorus]

And I got me a worn out guitar
I carry an old tone sack
And I hocked it about two hundred times
But I always get it back

[Chorus]

Well, you may not like my appearance
You may not like my song
You may not like the way I talk
But you sure like the way I'm gone

[Chorus]

I was born in the Southland
Some twenty odd years ago
I ran away for the first time
When I was only four years old

[Chorus]
