I was born in the south land

Twenty some-odd years ago

And I left home for the first time

Honey, when I was four years old

I'm a freeborn man

Home is on my back

I know every inch of highway

Every foot of backroad

Every mile of railroad track

I gotta a lady in Cincinnati

A woman in San Antone

I've always loved

The girl next door

Honey every place was home

Repeat 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

I'm a freeborn man

Home is on my back

I know every inch of highway

Every foot of backroad

Every mile of railroad

Every mile of railroad

Every mile of railroad track
