Go back home, get a job, and get paid
Marry a girl, go home, and get laid
Buy a big old house where we both can live
Have a couple of drinks and have a couple of kids
Oh and I, I left my life behind
But I ain't got time to look back onWhen I was free, when I was free
Free to be who I want to be,
Free to not care
When I was free, free and lonely
People see me on the street
They stop and stare
When I was free
Free and lonelyMove out west, living hand to mouth
My Hollywood plans have all gone south
So I move back east where I can pay the rent
But she want a big old house with a big old fence
Oh and I, I left my life behind
But I ain't got time to look back onWhen I was free, when I was free
Free to be who I want to be,
Free to not care
When I was free, free and lonely
People see me on the street
They stop and stare
When I was free
Free and lonely
