G G
Verse:
Am7 C G
I want 'em with a soft heart but hard hands
Am7 C G
Not a good ole boy but a simple man
Am7 C
I go on and on like the Mississippi
G
So I need a home that just might miss me
Am7 D
When I'm ramblin', like the Bama wind, and I'm gone again
Chorus:
Em7 D/F# G
I might run away-ay-ay-ay--ay
C G D
But I won't get lost
Em7 D/F# G
I'm okay-ay-ay-ay--ay
C G D
But I could really use someone
Em7 D/F# G
To hold me down, feet on the ground
C
When I can't stop
G D/F# Em7
I'm a rolling stone
C G G
Looking for a southern rock
Verse:
Am7 C G
I won't mind a lil rough round the edges
Am7 C G
Long as he can hold the door and tip a Stetson
Am7 C
But he's gotta be strong like Kentucky bourbon
G
And know how to hold me if I'm hurting
Am7
If I gotta go find a winding road
D
I need him to know

I might run away-ay-ay-ay--ay

He'll be steady to my shaky

The calm around my crazy
C D
The open when this free bird's gotta fly
