Go back home
Get a job and get paid
Marry a girl
Go home and get laid
Buy a big old house where we both can live
Have a couple of drinks and have a couple of kids

Whoa oh, and I, I left my life behind
But I ain't got time to look back on

When I was free, when I was free
Free to be who I want to be
Free to not care, ahh
When I was free, free and lonely
People would see me on the street
They'd stop and stare
When I was free

La la la, la la la la la la (Free and lonely)
La la la la la (Free and lonely)
La la la

When I was free, yeah
Free and lonely
Free and lonely
Move out west
Living hand to mouth
My Hollywood plans have all gone south
So I move back east where I can pay the rent
But she want a big old house with a big old fence

Whoa oh, and I, I left my life behind
But I ain't got time to look back on

When I was free, when I was free
Free to be who I want to be
Free to not care, ahh
When I was free, free and lonely
People would see me on the street
They'd stop and stare
When I was free

La la la, la la la la la la (Free and lonely)
La la la la la (Free and lonely)
La la la

When I was free, yeah
Free and lonely
Free and lonely

Free and lonely
When I was free
Free and lonely
People would see me on the street
They'd stop and stare
When I was free
