Pair of boots and a sack of clothes Free and easy down the road I go Hangin' memories on the high line poles Free and easy down the road I go Free and easy down the road I go Ragweed's rockin' on the radio Free and easy down the road I go So I keep rollin' like an old banjo Free and easy down the road I go Got the sun shinin' on me like a big spotlight So I know everything is gonna be alright Ain't no tellin' where the wind might blow Free and easy down the road I go Livin' life like a Sunday stroll Free and easy down the road I go Free and easy down the road I go If you only get to go around one time I'm gonna sit back and try to enjoy the ride I could make a million or wind up broke Free and easy down the road I go Can't take it with you when you go So free and easy down the road I go Someday I know it's gonna take me home So free and easy down the road I go Free and easy down the road I go, yeah

Oh, well we run to the break of day The old man groaned as we rolled away Our women wept as we sped on by We hung our heads low as they raised their flags high Then we grabbed our guns and shot away He's killed all our brothers on a Saturday Our blood's dishonored and our wounds were deep Old Jesse James, well, he won't even take a peep So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls The girls said I'd die before I get old The war is over and the graves were deep The sun was down just like my brother Rim's keep You burned my house and you raped my wife I fall to my knees and I pray to the Lord that I can kill that fucker tonight So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Mama said I'd die before I get old Oh, hey there, Dad Don't you know who I am? No motherfucker, don't give a goddamn So then we go on down that road Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Breaking your backs and breaking your souls Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old Mama said I'd die before I get old
