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 wants to be a free man yeah Ah he wants 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 upright They just wanna be a free man now They just wanna be a free man now They just wanna be a free man now
Pardon me man Oh but who's 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 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 realized 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 think I'm running from a free man, Running from a free man, Running from a free man now Oh I'm running from a free man now Oh I'm running from a free man now
