"Free And Easy (Cowboy Version)" lyrics

Let me tell you a story

I'm not driving south with the devil on my back
Drinking whiskey 'cause it's corny
We're not selling our souls for rock and roll
I'm a loser, and I'm forty

I'm not wasting this music, wasting these words
Wasting my time singing something absurd
I'm not wishing I was back in the U.S. of A
'Cause I come from Morecambe, where the skies are grey

Everything in life is so free and easy
You don't need to look so far away to find yourself

Live on a cul-de-sac, my name's not Zac
I don't shoot guns, it's not healthy
I drive a Ford C-Max I got off me dad
And it's filthy, I'm not wealthy

I'm not wasting my time telling stories to sell
I need to empty my bins yeah they're starting to smell
Put on my coat 'cause there's always rain
I don't care about the sun, I've nothing to gain

Everything in life is so free and easy
You don't need to look so far away to find yourself

But if you're needing a moan
Remember, you're never alone
And if you're tryna reach too far
Just remember, folks, you're great the way you are

Play it, Sam
I don't know anyone called Sam

You're a perfect beautiful soul
Who's story's worth being told
So take a long look inside
And saddle that tiger, go out for a ride

Everything in life is so free and easy
You don't need to look so far away to find yourself

Hey, everything in life is so free and easy
You don't need to look so far away to find yourself

Hell, everything in life is so goddamn cheesy
You don't need to jump that high to get off the shelf
