Lyrics

Free & Lonely

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

Whoa oh, and I, I left my life behind

But I ain't got 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, ahh

When I was free, free and lonely

People would see me on the street

They'd stop and stare

When I was free

La la la, la la la la la la (Free and lonely)

La la la la la (Free and lonely)

La la la

When I was free, yeah

Free and lonely

Free and lonely

Move 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

Whoa oh, and I, I left my life behind

But I ain't got 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, ahh

When I was free, free and lonely

People would see me on the street

They'd stop and stare

When I was free

La la la, la la la la la la (Free and lonely)

La la la la la (Free and lonely)

La la la

When I was free, yeah

Free and lonely

Free and lonely

Free and lonely

When I was free

Free and lonely

People would see me on the street

They'd stop and stare

When I was free
