Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, I'm a walking talking Dear John letter
It's the last time I'm ever gonna grace your porch
Burn it in your brain, take a Polaroid picture
Bet you think I'm gonna miss you, but you'll miss me more
[Verse 2]
You say you want space
Well, okay, baby, have it your way
In my walkaway jeans, I'll show you free
Take a good look, in a second I'll be
[Chorus]
Free like a hippie, free like a fire
Free like a bird on a telephone wire
Free like a Chevy on a don't look back road
"Bye Bye My Baby" on the radio
Head spinnin' in the dust I leave
Boy, you ain't ever seen free like me
Free like me
[Verse 3]
This ain't one of those taillight tappin'
Looking back real sad in the rearview mirror
Nah, this ain't one of those on again off again
Get a little gone, then reappear
If you think I won't go, baby, hold my beer
[Chorus]
I'm free like a hippie, free like a fire
Free like a bird on a telephone wire
Free like a Chevy on a don't look back road
"Bye Bye My Baby" on the radio
Head spinnin' in the dust I leave
Boy, you ain't ever seen free like me
Free like me
[Bridge]
You say you want space
Well, okay, baby, have it your way
I won't lose sleep over your goodbye
I, I, I, I
[Chorus]
I'm free like a hippie, free like a fire
Free like a bird on a telephone wire
Free like a Chevy on a don't look back road
"Bye Bye My Baby" on the radio
Head spinnin' in the dust I leave
Boy, you ain't never seen free like me
Free like me
[Outro]
Boy, you ain't ever seen, no, you ain't ever seen free like me
Boy, you ain't ever seen, no, you ain't ever seen free like me
Free like me
