Wild And Free
It's mighty still and dark, the place is shut down There's one small light on out around the back I need to talk to Dolores before I leave town If she'll just open up the door a crack
Next thing I know I'm looking down a shotgun So close up I can even see the shell She said get lost you no good bum One false move I'll send you back to hell
I used to love Dolores best Way much more than all the rest Until she went and tried to tie me down Until she staked a claim on me Who's always been so wild and free I come to say goodbye, I'm leaving town
She won't let me in, that's comprehended One thing she makes very, very clear That our discussion won't be open-ended Nothing I can say she wants to hear
Say what you have to say and make it brief He who cheats at love is twice a thief If you don't know, no one could tell you Love is blind and you're past all belief
I went to see my other darling I could hear a big dog snarling Maybe that's the midnight train from Memphis Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'd like to be on the train and gone Wild and free by the crack of dawn No need to trim my lawn or mend my fences
I got nothing to say in my defence, Juanita I just come by to say I'm leaving home I know you've been complaining how I treat you It's about high time that I took off to Rome
Don't go getting weepy over me, no, no I ain't worth a tear-drop in the snow I'm not unless I'm living wild and free I'm only come to tell you so you know
Don't you throw no stones at me Just because I'm wild and free A better way nobody ever showed me Music, women never change Everything that comes to me I accept without apology
When it's time to settle down Maybe I'll be back around Maybe I'll just crumble where I fall He who cheats at love she says Twice a thief, sticks in my head I can't figure what she meant at all
