I put a for sale sign on the front of my truck Said call anytime cause I'm always up Make an offer, one that I won't refuse I bought a one way ticket on a west bound plane Four hours later I was wearing shades in California Just hanging loose I didn't pack one memory Oh, and even though I'm free I can go where I wanna go Do what I wanna do Be who I wanna be But baby, you still own me Say what I wanna say Hear what I wanna hear Dream what I wanna dream But baby, you still own me I was up all night 'cause I couldn't sleep Instead of staring at the ceiling I hit the beach I took a long walk, it didn't help me much Sat down in the sand with a handful of shells Kicked off my shoes while me myself and I watched The sun come up Looking out across the sea It's finally dawned on me I can go where I wanna go Do what I wanna do Be who I wanna be But baby, you still own me Say what I wanna say Hear what I wanna hear Dream what I wanna dream But baby, you still own me Maybe I'm not in your arms But you still own my heart I can go where I wanna go Do what I wanna do Be who I wanna be But baby, you still own me Say what I wanna say Hear what I wanna hear Dream what I wanna dream But baby, you still own me
