Free an´ easy,
That´s my style,
Howdy do me,
Watch me smile,
But fare the well me after while,
´Cause I gotta roam
An´ any place I hang my hat is home!
Sweetenin´ water,
Cherry wine,
Thank you kindly,
Suits me fine,
Kansas City, even Caroline,
That´s my honeycomb,
´Cause any place I hang my hat is home.
Birds roostin´ in a tree pick up an´ go,
An´ the goin´ proves that´s how it oughta to be,
I pick up too when the spirit moves me.
Cross the river, round the bend,
Howdy stranger,
So long friend,
There´s a voice in the lonesome win´
Keeps whisperin´ roam!
I´m going where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is,
´Cause any place I hang my hat is home.
