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
