Free Man

I sold my house, I sold my car.
I took a job, At Milly's bar.
I met a man who was running from the government.
Ah, he want's to be a free man, yeah.
Ah, he want's to be a free man, yeah.
He took me out, to his campsite.
I met his friends, they seemed alright.
Until I noticed everybody seemed real uptight.
They just wanna be free men now.
They just wanna be free men now.
They just wanna be free men now.
Pardon me man.
Oh, but who is your mother,
Oh, and didn't she say,
You should love one another.
He showed me how, to load a piece.
To shoot it straight, between the teeth.
And the next thing i know I think I've fallen in love.
And I'm living with a free man now.
Oh, now I'm cooking for the free man now.
He took me out, in his old truck.
He told me anyone who ain't white sucks.
That's when i realised i'd made a big mistake.
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
Oh, but pardon me man.
Oh, who's your mother.
And didn't she teach you,
She should love one another.
Late one night, I snuck away.
To use the phone, so i could say.
I'd appreciate a little bit of government.
Cause I'm married to a free man now.
Oh, I'm married to a free man now.
Yeah I'm married to a free man now.
Well I'm married to a free man now.
Yeah I'm married to a free man now.
Oh I'm married to a free man now.
I'm running from the free man
Running from the free man,
Running from the free man now.
Oh i'm running from the free man now,
Oh I'm running from the free man now.
