He rode into town on a Monday
I remember very well
The air was clean, and the sun
High in the sky
We talked awhile and he told me
Of the life he'd been livin'
I have to say I admire that man
He had style
He was a hard working loner
Always on the move
Just takin' life one day at a time
He'd work awhile kind of hang around
Never in a hurry
Then one day he'd just move on down the line
He said son I am a drifter
I live my life, the way I please
I just take things slow and easy
Loving life, and being free
Some people call me an outlaw
They say there's no place
For my kind
I just tell them it's a free world
And just not to waste my time
Some call me a redneck
Some call me a freak
Some say I've lost my mind
But I'm free as an eagle, flyin' in the wind
Takin' life for all I can find
I travel cause I want to
It's not that I'm on the run
Although the law
Hasn't done a thing for me
I'm not a perfect angel
I've done my share of wrongs
But everything's considered
I'm just me
