Free Born Man Lyrics

I was born in the Southland! Twenty some odd years ago
Now I ran away for the first time when I was about four years old
I'm a free born man.My home is on my back
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile from a railroad track
I got a gal in Cincinnati, got a woman in San Antone
But I always love that girl next door and any ole place is home
I'm a free born man.My home is on my back
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile from a railroad track
I've got me a worn out guitar.I carry an ole tote sack

I've hocked it about two-hundred times but I always get it back
I'm a free born man.My home is on my back
Now I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile from a railroad track
You May not like my appearance.You may not like my song
You might not like the way I am but you sure like the way I'm gone
I'm a free born man.My home is on my back
Lord, I know every inch of highway and every foot of backroad never a mile from a railroad track

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
