It was too much
day after dead beat day
so I told the boss I was leaving
and never coming back
sold the stuff and hit the road
on a bright sunshine day
now I’m free and easy
met a lot of folks
some just like me
others said they wish they were
but it scares them
you know- being free and easy
sleeping under the stars listening to the coyotes’ call
understanding what the Indians had
a train whistle wakes me up and says
“go on”
coffee from a 7-11
brunch from a snickers’ bar
beer in a box car
the wind whistled me a tune
sometimes I settle down and wash some plates
make a few bucks
but keep on being happy
free and easy
