♫ Verse 1:
Dm                 Bb
Born and raised in a motel in New Orleans

I ran away with a hobo and his gypsy friends
Dm                            Bb
We rode a freight train up to Cleveland, across the Utah plains
Dm               Bb   C
Proud men, troubadours torn and frayed
F         Dm
Sleeping under the stars
F             C
While gently strumming guitars
      Bb
Played the songs of Woddy Guthrie

And the open road
 C
I knew right then I could never go home

What a hand this rambler had been finally dealt
F           Dm
A beauty six years and 10
F            C
I felt the walls closing in
    Bb
Like a swollen river 'bout to overflow

Like a losing gambler, I kept on rolling

And a wild horse runs free forever
