I'm as free as the breeze happy as you please While you're singing the blues in the rain Used to have me begging down on my knees but you'll never see me there again You had a bed of clover when you stay with me But now you're on the outside and I've got the key And I'm as free as the breeze happy as you please While you're singing the blues in the rain [ guitar + steel ] I'm as free as the breeze happy as you please While you're singing the blues in the rain Used to have me begging down on my knees but you'll never see me there again I'm gettin' tired of carin' all this heavy load I'm tearin' up your playhouse so get on down the road Cause I'm as free as the breeze happy as you please While you're singing the blues in the rain [ guitar + steel + piano ] I'm as free as the breeze happy as you please While you're singing the blues in the rain Used to have me begging down on my knees but you'll never see me there again I used to pay the bills and let you run about But now your little gravy train has done full out And I'm as free as the breeze happy as you please While you're singing the blues in the rain While you're singing the blues in the rain
