Free Man

Tommy Cash

Compositor: Glenn Sutton

The king of the jungle is a lion
But you kill his freedom once he's in a cage
A man needs a woman he can lean on
Not one to turn his life page by page

If you don't believe a lemon's bitter try one
If it doesn't soothe your taste throw it away
If you only want a puppet then go by one
If that's how it is then I can't stay

Cause every man wants to be a free man
Not one that's tied to bonds of jealousy
So if you're afraid of losin' me you'll lose me
But not to love but to fear
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be
[ guitar ] I know you don't understand my every move
And at times I wish you wouldn't even try
All you need to know is that I love you
And I will until the day I die

But every man wants to be a free man...
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be
