Pair of boots and a sack of clothes Free and easy down the road I go Hangin' memories on the high line poles Free and easy down the road I go Free and easy down the road I go Ragweed's rockin' on the radio Free and easy down the road I go So I keep rollin' like an old banjo Free and easy down the road I go Got the sun shinin' on me like a big spotlight So I know everything is gonna be alright Ain't no tellin' where the wind might blow Free and easy down the road I go Livin' life like a Sunday stroll Free and easy down the road I go Free and easy down the road I go If you only get to go around one time I'm gonna sit back and try to enjoy the ride I could make a million or wind up broke Free and easy down the road I go Can't take it with you when you go so Free and easy down the road I go Someday I know it's gonna take me home Free and easy down the road I go Free and easy down the road I go
