Freeborn man w daily Lyrics

Well, I was born a south land
Twenty some odd years ago
and I ran away for the first time
when I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

I got a woman in Cincinnati,
another lover in San Antone
and none of them tried to hold me there 'cause they know the road's my home
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

Well, I got me this ol' guitar
and carrying an ol' tote sack
Gotta honk it about 200 times,
but I always got it back
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

I was born in south land
twenty some odd years ago
and the first time that I ran away,
well, I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

Well, I was born a south land
Twenty some odd years ago
and I ran away for the first time
when I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

I got a woman in Cincinnati,
another lover in San Antone 
and none of them tried to hold me there 'cause they know the road's my home
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

Well, I got me this ol' guitar
and carrying an ol' tote sack
Gotta honk it about 200 times, 
but I always got it back
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

I was born in south land
twenty some odd years ago
and the first time that I ran away,
well, I was only four years old
I'm a freeborn man
my home is on my back
Well, I know every inch of highway,
every foot of back road, and every mile of rail road track.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
