Gotta Be Free

I came from the big bright city, that’s where I came from
I’ve been on the road a long time, been such a long time
'Cos I’m just a natural travelin' man
Living my life the best that I can
I don’t want no chains on me
I gotta be free
I gotta be free
Guess that I was born a rover, guess I was
Can’t stay in one place too long, not too long
Man in a suitcase, travelin' light
Just like a flower, I’m growin' wild
I don’t want no chains on me
I gotta be free
I gotta be free
I gotta be free
I gotta be free, free
To do as I please
Free, free
Like a bird in a tree
I don’t want no chains on me
I gotta be free
I gotta be free
Please don’t ask me where I’m going, I don’t know
I’ve just got to keep on rolling, keep on rolling
'Cos I’m just a natural travelin' man
Living my life the best that I can
I don’t want no chains on me
I gotta be free
Oh can’t you see,
I gotta be free-eee
I gotta be free-eee
I gotta be free-eee …
