Hey, how have you been? Good to see you again Gee, it's been a long time How's that new man Momma and Dad Since I told you goodbye? Now I'm still the same Still raisin' Cain Nobody's worried 'bout me I come and I go, just as I please Since I set myself free But I can't win for losin' you I just can't get over you Bein' footloose and fancy free Ain't all it's cracked up to be And the grass ain't no greener Here on the other side I might win a heart or two But I can't win for losin' you Well I'm on my way, there's so much to say Lord knows that I've had my time But girl, you can bet I'll never forget When you used to be mine But I can't win for losin' you I just can't get over you Bein' footloose and fancy free Ain't all it's cracked up to be And the grass ain't no greener Here on the other side I might win a heart or two But I can't win for losin' you No I can't win for losin' you I just can't get over you Bein' footloose and fancy free
