I pack my bags, shrug off the rain I'm scattered on the interstate, I just called out your name Telephone lines, they get me down I been so outta touch I left my phone there back in town My mortgage due, pay back my loans I pay 'em by the U.S. mail, a thousand miles from home You should be, so wild and free, right here with me Well I pulled myself, right outta bed Well it's another roach motel, don't touch the bedspread That's what you say, when you come along But now I'm looking for a laundromat in a town I don't belong Another dram, and a drop of tears Let's drag the Colorado up and back for all these years Where you should be, so wild and free, right here with me BRIDGE Right here with me, out here on the fringe So wild and free, just hanging by a thread Someday I may quit my ramblin' round But somehow right here with me is where I want to have you now SOLO I stretch the ties, them ties that bind Well they're holding in a double knot, sometimes they get so tight It's been so long, since I been gone I'm a blue-eyed soul blowing in the wind a song of home You should be, so wild and free, right here with me Well, you should be, so wild and free, right here with me You wanna be, so wild and free, right here with me
