Lyrics

By Bryant Switzky

He's a free man, he’s walking 10 feet tall
He's a free man, he says he wants it all
He's got a wild look in his eyes
He says there's more to life than nine to five
He cranks it up and paints the town
He’s setting ‘em up and then he’s knocking ‘em down

He saying do what you want, don't be afraid
Sell what you got don't give it away
Forget the future and the past
Live for today, better do it fast

He's not a rich man, he's nearly living on the street
He's not a rich man, but he's got everything he needs
He's got a felt fedora and a beat up guitar
And a pretty girl hanging on his arm
Never cared much for rank and file
Wherever he's walking he'll be strutting in style

He saying do what you want, don't be afraid
Sell what you got don't give it away
Forget the future and the past
Live for today, better do it fast

It's easy to see that he might be the happiest man alive
Grinning ear-to-ear you'll find him here living life in overdrive

He's a good man, he's living by a code
He's a good man, he'll tell you everything he knows
He says it's always better to be nice than mean
Don't mess with mister in between
Give me a million dollars and the Isle of Man
I'd still be exactly who I am

Saying do what you want, don't be afraid
Sell what you got don't give it away
Forget the future and the past
Live for today, better do it fast
