Pick 'Em Up

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well sometimes I lose my direction

And sometimes I jump off track

But when I ride out baby, I can always get back

I need to feel the cool breeze in my face

The rumble of the engines between my legs

Hey little sister, You can color me gone

So if I want to stay out all night long

You can't stop me from running wild

Yeah don't worry how long I'm gone

I'll come back every once and a while

I pick 'em up, I lay 'em all down

I never like my feet, to ever hit the ground

Don't miss me when I'm gone, 'cause I'll be around

I'm a free spirit baby pick me up and lay me on down

That's right, wooo

Well I know I got a good life, Jim Beam

And women, they treat me right

I make my own rules, like it or not

Now don't misunderstand me baby

I give it every once and a while

Well it's tough love honey

But I'll leave you with a smile

So if I want to stay out all night long

You can't stop me from running wild

Now don't worry how long I'm gone

I'll come back every once and a while

I pick 'em up, I lay 'em all down

I never like my feet, to ever hit the ground

Don't miss me when I'm gone, Cause I'll be around

I'm a free spirit baby pick me up and lay me on down

I've been here, I've been there, I've been everywhere

I wouldn't tell you no lies

And just like me you're a wild one

Won't you take me for a ride

I pick 'em up, and lay 'em all down

I never like my feet, to ever hit the ground

Don't miss me when I'm gone, 'cause I'll be around

I'm a free spirit baby pick me up and lay me on down

Yeah I'm a free spirit baby pick me up and lay me on down

You got to lay me on down, yes you do

I'm a free spirit, oh you know you are Johnny

Oooh that's what I am oooh
