Hey wouldn't you wanna know

Everywhere that river flows to right now

 I can show you how

'Cause someday you might wanna go

Someday you got nothing to show

For all your pain

For all your chains

I ain't saying it's the only way

But wouldn't you like to know

 How it feels to live

 Like a free man

 To give

 When there's nothing in your hand

Run like only the river can

 Like a free man

You've only so many roads to choose

Sooner or later the ones you use

They all look the same

Someday you might feel the need

Someday when you're tired of bleeding

For someone else

You're gonna want it for youself

I ain't saying it's the only way

But wouldn't you like to know

How it feels to live

Like a free man

To give

When there's nothing in your hand

Run like only the river can

Like a free man

(repeat)

Hey

Free
