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, time to look back on.

When 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'd stop and stare.
When I was free and lonely, free and lonely.
When I was free, free and lonely, free and lonely.

Move out west, live in hand and mouth.
My Hollywood plans have all gone south.
So I moved 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, time to look back on.

When 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'd stop and stare.
When I was free and lonely, free and lonely.
When I was free, free and lonely, free and lonely.

When I was free, free and lonely,
people see me on the street, they'd stop and stare.
When I was free.
