I'm Free Lyrics - Pride In What I Am - Merle Haggard & The Strangers

Though I haven't got a penny to my name 

I've got wealth beyond compare just the same 

In my mind the greatest treasure there could be 

Just to live the way I live because I'm free. 

I'm not bound to anyone that takes my time 

Or pleasures that will pray up on my mind 

And I walk the roads and do just as I please 

My life belongs to me cause I'm free. 

I'm free from social ties that tend to bind me 

Or to live the life that wasn't meant for me 

Competing for the things that have no meaning 

I'm wealthy in my mind because I'm free. 

The ribbons of the land that keep me a knowing 

There's always something new for me to see 

A whistle in the wind then I'll be going 

To live the way I live because I'm free.
