I gotta get free
I gotta get free
I gotta get free
I gotta get free
I've been trapped, trapped in my mind
I've been stuck, stuck in my pride
While my darling is hanging high and dry
I've got shackles 'round my wrists
Like some strange diamonds
But I'm foolin' nobody but myself
I gotta get free
'Cause my honey's calling me
I gotta get free
For my honey
It's been a long time coming,
Just to see my honey running
Oh, he is running fast for me
I'm jailbird prone to roam
Got to find my way back home
But there's goodness in patience in his soul
He's risky loving me
Got blisters on his feet
From the miles he took to get to me
I gotta get free
'Cause my honey's calling me
I gotta get free
For my honey
It's been a long time coming,
Just to see my honey running
Oh, he is running fast for me
I gotta get free
'Cause my honey's calling me
I gotta get free
For my honey
It's been a long time coming,
Just to see my honey running
Oh, he is running fast for me
I'm free,
I'm free, oh,
I'm free,
I'm free.
I'm free,
I'm free,
Oh, call my honey,
And tell him I'm free.
