Freedom came my way that night Just like a jet plane in and out of sight Oh, I was hauling ass at a million miles an hour Wondering how hard I'd hit So say Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, won't you dare to? Leave a message and your number, please Wrap 'em up in a big red bow and send them Care of me I'm taking my chance on the wind I'm packing up all my bags Taking a mistake I gotta make Oh, then I'm glory bound Hmm-mm-mm So I packed it up and I Went to the winds and I Lived out of a VW bus for a year or two Ain't nothing but a pipe dream and my guitar Livin' off for apple fields and old cigars Diggin' this microphone Checking it out every night all alone And the car battery is dead again So I got my head dead set against it So say Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, won't you dare to? Say Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, won't you dare to? Leave a message and your number, please Wrap 'em up in a big red bow and send them Care of me I'm taking a chance on the wind I'm packing up all my bag, ay, yeah Making a mistake I gotta make And then I am glory bound Give you some bound, yeah
