[Intro]
B A B
[Verse]
BWhen I was a young man in my prime
I had a Awoman and her future by my Bside
BBut the four winds blow and the grass don't grow
'Round the Afeet of a man with travellin' in his Bhide
[Verse]
So I Ethrew off all the F#shackles and the Bchains
And I Esaid goodbye to F#what's-her-name
And I Bsuffered through the Ecold September F#rain
BHeaded back to Afreedom once aBgain A B
[Verse]
BWell, I tried my luck on a fiery buck
At the Aback of a two-room ramblin' ranchin' Bshack
BNow there's nothing worse than a buckskin horse
With a Amind of his own and a saddle on his Bback
[Verse]
For Eriding he just F#couldn't seem to Bcare
So he Eleft me there in the F#dusty air
And I Bsuffered through the Einsult and the F#pain
BLanded on my Abackside once aBgain A B
[Verse]
BWell, I broke my back laying down the track
For the Arailroad that was making its way out BWest
BBut I had no feel for the cold hard steel
And a Akind of a job that would give a man no Brest
[Verse]
So I Esaid goodbye and I F#headed North for Bgold
And I Estaked my claim on a F#salted vein
And I Bsuffered from the Ehunger and the F#cold
And Ball I found was a Ayoung man growing Bold A B
[Verse]
BI drank my fill of the barroom swill
And I Adanced 'til the sun was a jewel in the morning Bsky
BI used my fist for a goodnight kiss
On the Aface of a man with evil in his Beye
[Verse]
Then I Estumbled through the F#morning feeling Bill
Till I Efell with a thud in the F#rain and the mud
And I Bsuffered through a Eday or two in F#jail
Then I Bheaded back for the Afreedom of the Btrail
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
BWell, the years have flown, but the times I've known
Were Abetter than a poke in the eye with a rusty Bnail
BIf a man will try and a man don't lie to himself
Life can Abe one hell of a Btale
[Verse]
To Echange my life, I F#wouldn't give a Bdime
And Ewhen I go the F#books will show
That I Bsuffered from my Eyouth right through my F#prime
I'm Bheaded back to Afreedom, one last Btime
