Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day in the week, I've been in a different city
If I stay too long, the people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog, talkin' about the clothes I wear
But they don't realize they're the ones who's square
[PreChorus]
Hey! And that's why
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be down
I gotta move on, ow!
[Chorus]
Stone free, to do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away, right now
Yeah, alright
[Verse 2]
Listen to this, baby
A woman here, a woman there, try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realize it's so easy to break
Oh, but sometimes I get a, ha, I can feel my heart kind of runnin' hot
That's when I've got to move, before I get caught
[PreChorus]
Hey! And that's why, listen to me, baby
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta be free, ow!
[Chorus]
I said, 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
[Bridge]
Yeah, ow!
Tear me loose, baby
[Chorus]
Stone free, to ride on the breeze
Stone free, do what I please
Stone free (I can't stay)
Stone free (I got to, I got to get away)
[Outro]
Stone free (I'm gone, baby, right now)
Stone free (Don't try to hold me back, ow)
Stone free (I go on down the highway, yeah)
Stone free (I got to, got to, got to, got to)
Stone free (Move it on, bye-bye, baby)
Stone free (Ow)
