When I was young And my spirit was free to ride No one I knew had anything to hide But all of this is Changing with the days I walked into a disillusioned maze Those crazy, crazy Mellow, yellow days Are lost in a so-called Sophisticated haze But I can still remember Being care-free And no one knows it better than me 'Cause I'm a free spirit And I'm looking for a place to run A free spirit of the wind And a free spirit Needs to be complete I've got to have the world at my feet Now my time has come and I'm dealing with here and now And I'm gonna have to Take care of it somehow And I don't intend to wait For the cover of night The only way I know Is to get up and fight I'm a free sipirit And I'm looking for a place to run A free spirit of the wind And a free spirit Needs to be complete I've got to have the world at my feet
