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
