Freeborn Man
Journey of a Free Spirit: Unveiling Life's Trails in 'Freeborn Man'
Lyrics
I was born in southland twenty some odd years ago
I was born in the southern part of the United States about twenty years ago.
I ran away for the first time when I was four years old
I first ran away from home when I was just four years old.
I'm a freeborn man my home is on my back
I consider myself a free-spirited individual, carrying my home with me.
I know every inch of highway every foot of backroad every mile of rairoad track
I am familiar with every stretch of highway, backroad, and railroad track.
I got a gal Cincinnati I got a woman in San Antone
I have relationships with women in Cincinnati and San Antonio.
I've always loved the girl next door but any place is home
Although I have a preference for the girl next door, I feel at home anywhere.
I'm a freeborn man...
Reiteration of being a freeborn man with a nomadic lifestyle.
Got me a worn out guitar I carry in an old coal sack
I own a well-used guitar that I carry in an old coal sack.
I've hocked it bout two hundred times but I always get it back
Despite having pawned it multiple times, I always manage to reclaim my guitar.
I'm a freeborn man...
Reiteration of being a freeborn man with a strong connection to music.

[Instrumental break, no lyrical content]
You may not like my appearance may not like my song
People may not appreciate my appearance or my song, but they will value me after I'm no longer present.
May not like the way I talk but you'll like me when I'm gone
Highlighting potential dislikes in communication style but emphasizing posthumous likability.
I'm a freeborn man...
Reiteration of being a freeborn man, reinforcing the theme of independence.
I'm a freeborn man...
Reaffirmation of the assertion of being a freeborn man.
