Spent some time up in Oregon, spent some time up in Maine

And each time the ones who knew me then, now they don't know my name

But there comes a time you know you realize, that there's never really anyone

Who's been there all the time (yodel) you know I'm gonna be free



Last time I was Memphis bound, I say Memphis, Tennessee

I met some friends and we played my songs 

And that's makin' good kind of music by me

But you know my life is always changin' lines just to suit some melody

I'm hummin' all the time (yodel) you know I'm gonna be free



Every place I've ever been, I've just simply sung my thoughts

People pick up on what suits them best and that's me after I'm gone

You know I'm gonna be free

But there ain't nobody in this whole round world

Gonna ever really know my mind or know me all the time
