I Shall Be Free

[00:09.19] I don't wanna go to prison
[00:11.35] I don't wanna be in jail
[00:13.14] I don't want no badge and buckle
[00:14.81] Bringin' me my meals and mail
[00:17.23] I don't want to count the hours
[00:19.36] When they ain't worth countin' for
[00:21.25] I don't like to walk on a carpet
[00:23.25] But I hate a concrete floor
[00:25.20] So I'm trying to behave myself
[00:27.56] I'm trying to act right
[00:28.90] And I'm neighborly with my neighbor
[00:31.09] And I say my prayers at night
[00:32.96] But the thing that really matters is that you will care for me
[00:37.09] And I just want you to know that if you do
[00:39.58] I shall be free
[00:41.42] I shall be free
[00:43.42] I shall be free
[00:45.57] I shall be free
[00:47.46] I shall be free
[00:49.04] If you ever do want me
[00:50.56] I shall be free
[00:54.62] I don't want to be a traveler
[00:56.57] I don't want a suit and tie
[00:58.58] I don't want to eat my supper seven miles up in the sky
[01:02.56] I don't wanna be a chairman
[01:04.56] I don't want a cellular phone
[01:06.44] I don't want no gold in Switzerland
[01:08.44] You are my precious stone
[01:10.30] I'll be setting on dead ready at the sligthest nod from you
[01:14.39] Want no kind of obligation
[01:16.24] But one thing I have to do
[01:18.29] I will sleep out in your yard
[01:19.64] So you will know where I will be
[01:22.19] If you peek out your window and see me
[01:24.82] I shall be free
[01:26.46] I shall be free
[01:28.55] I shall be free
[01:30.46] I shall be free
[01:32.32] I shall be free
[01:33.76] If you ever do want me
[01:35.43] I shall be free
[01:36.54]
[01:55.23] I would give up my guitar
[01:57.25] Give away my fancy clothes
[01:59.11] I would cancel my engagments
[02:01.10] I would cut out all the shows
[02:03.01] I'd tear up my driver's license
[02:04.93] I would burn up my roadmap
[02:06.83] I would sit down by the phone
[02:08.79] With your picture on my lap
[02:10.89] I would sit out my by the mail box
[02:12.78] Waitin' for the morning mail
[02:14.75] I'd be like an anxious puppy
[02:16.60] Who just sits and wags his tail
[02:18.73] You won't ever catch me sleeping
[02:20.65] Honey, that I guarantee
[02:22.67] If you ever do want me
[02:24.40] I shall be free
[02:26.88] I shall be free
[02:29.00] I shall be free
[02:31.00] I shall be free
[02:32.86] I shall be free
[02:34.45] If you ever do want me
[02:35.89] I shall be free
[02:39.89] And just give me half a chance
[02:41.84] And I will give the world to you
[02:44.60] I would be and do most anything you want me to
[02:47.96] I will love you and protect you and provide bountifully
[02:52.29] I'll give you tomorrow if you give yourself to me
[02:55.77] And whenever that may be
[02:57.49] I shall be free
[02:59.94] I shall be free
[03:01.80] I shall be free
[03:03.81] I shall be free
[03:05.89] I shall be free
[03:07.42] If you ever do want me
[03:09.13] I shall be free
[03:10.80]
