Josh Murphy - Free (As I'm Gonna Be) Lyrics

My Ten Gallon baby she don't feel no shame
She barracudas through the city like it's open range
She was singing 'bout the levee
Singing 'bout the things that come
Like a prophet on the run

My South Side baby works the midnight shift
She's been grinding through the gutter like it don't exist
She was running for the money
Running from the things that come
And that was fine with me

'Cause I'm free as I'm gonna be

Then I took New Madrid down to 61
Gonna show my baby the rising sun
Throw my blues in the river
It needs it more than me
Or so it seems

Now I'm free as I'm gonna be

Got a hand in my pocket
Got some bills to pay
I've been working real hard
To keep the man away

Came for my baby
Came for my keys
Came for my religion
On my bended knee

Now I'm free as I'm gonna be?
Am I free as I'm gonna be?
