lyrics

I almost feel free honey that’s for sure
And I don’t know what I came here for
I ain’t playing games so get off my back
If society’s a mansion I want to live in a shack

We only had a dollar and someone’s left over food
We sat on the street together
We had nothing to lose
Not chasing the old time wind
Chasing that old-time wind

We slept in fields together
Underneath the tall trees
Hearts as light as a feather
We had no one to please
Not chasing that old time wind, chasing that old time wind

Well I almost feel free honey that’s for sure
And I don’t know what I came here for I ain’t playing games
So get off my back
If society’s a mansion I want to live in a shack

I can just taste the raw joy of having nothing but shoes
My guitar on my shoulder
The old man taught us the blues
I am free because I can see the wind won’t be caught by me

We were playing our music right there in Santa Cruz
The homeless woman was dancing, so you took off your shoes
Swayed together and you were free
The wind fell right over me

I almost feel free honey that’s for sure
And I don’t know what I came here for
I ain’t playing games so get off my back
If society’s a mansion I want to live in a shack

Maybe I’ll take off again. Sell my things like I did back then
The first car that takes me in, will be right where I begin
But wherever I will go is wherever I will be
So I’ll stay right here with her
Love is real when she’s with me
