Baby, I'm a walking talking Dear John letter
It's the last time I'm ever gonna grace your porch
Burn it in your brain, take a Polaroid picture
Bet you think I'm gonna miss you, but you'll miss me more

You say you want space
Well, okay, baby, have it your way
In my walkaway jeans, I'll show you free
Take a good look, in a second I'll be

Free like a hippie, free like a fire
Free like a bird on a telephone wire
Free like a Chevy on a don't look back road
"Bye Bye My Baby" on the radio
Head spinnin' in the dust I leave
Boy, you ain't ever seen free like me
Free likе me

This ain't one of those taillight tappin'
Looking back rеal sad in the rearview mirror
Nah, this ain't one of those on again off again
Get a little gone, then reappear
If you think I won't go, baby, hold my beer

I'm free like a hippie, free like a fire
Free like a bird on a telephone wire
Free like a Chevy on a don't look back road
"Bye Bye My Baby" on the radio
Head spinnin' in the dust I leave
Boy, you ain't ever seen free like me
Free like me

You say you want space
Well, okay, baby, have it your way
I won't lose sleep over your goodbye
I, I, I, I

I'm free like a hippie, free like a fire
Free like a bird on a telephone wire
Free like a Chevy on a don't look back road
"Bye Bye My Baby" on the radio
Head spinnin' in the dust I leave
Boy, you ain't ever seen free like me
Free like me

Boy, you ain't ever seen, no
You ain't ever seen free like me
Boy, you ain't ever seen, no
You ain't ever seen free like me
Free like me
