Longhaired young girl, here beside me
Fittin' my body, warm my mind
Sleeping quiet, never knowin'
That tomorrow should be one more thing I'm gonna leave behind

Like them big wheels, I'll be rolling
Like them rivers, I'm gonna flow to sea
'Cause I'd rather leave here knowing
That I made a fool of love before I made a fool of me

Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'd ever lose
You're as empty as my pockets
From the top of where you start down to the bottom of my shoes

Open highway, lonesome windblow
Tell me something I don't know
Wrap them woman's arms around me
Tell me why I'm gonna be where I don't really want to go

Low down freedom, you done cost me
Everything I'd ever lose
You're as empty as my pockets
And you're colder than the water that keeps runnin' down my shoes
