And I left home for the first time honey, when I was four years old 

CHORUS 

I'm a Freeborn Man, home is on my back

I know every inch of highway, every foot of back roads, every mile of railroad track

I gotta a lady in Cincinatti, a woman in San Antoine 

I've always loved the girl next door, honey every place was home 

CHORUS 

You may not like the way I look 

You may not like this song 

You may not like the way I live 

Or the way I'm going 

CHORUS
