Lyrics
Every day in the week
I'm in a different city.
If I stay too long,
People try to pull me down.
They talk about me like a doll,
Talking about the clothes I wear.
They don't realize
They're the ones who're square.
And that's why
You can't hold me down.
I don't want to be down,
I got to move on, hey.
Stone free to do what I please.
Stone free to ride the breeze.
Stone free, I can't stay.
Got to, got to, got to get away.
A woman here, a woman there,
Trying to keep me in a plastic cage.
They don't realize
It's so easy to break.
But sometimes I get a -- huh.
Feel my heart kinda running hot.
It's when I've got to move
Before I get caught.
And that is why
You can't hold me down.
I don't want to be tied down.
I got to move on, hey.
Stone free to do what I please.
Stone free to ride the breeze.
Stone free, I can't stay.
Got to, got to, got to get away now.
Got to, got to, got to get away.
Stone free to ride the breeze.
Stone free to do what I please.
Stone free, I can't stay.
Stone free, I got to, got to get away.
Stone free, I'm gonna leave her right now.
Stone free, don't jump in that bed
Stone free, moving on down the highway.
Stone free, got to, got to, got to get away.
Stone free, oh yeah babe.
Stone free, bye bye baby.
