Free and easy
That's my style
Howdy-do me?
Watch me smile

But fare-the-well me
After a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home

Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
Thank you kindly
Suits me fine

Kansas city even Carolina
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree

Pick up and go
And the goin' proves
That's how it oughta to be
Pick up too when the spirit moves me

Cross the river
'Round the bend
Howdy stranger?
So long friend!

There's a voice in the lonesome wind
Keeps a whispering roam
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is

'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
