I hold my head up high today
I call you on the phone and say
You want to take a ride with me
Anywhere you want
Early morning, early morning
And I'm calling my baby in the farmland
Got my picture on her fridge door
Chain and locket, yeah she says it was her grandma's
Now I'm fresh out, starting brand new
With my baby, that I'm going up to meet soon
With her green eyes and her black hair
Lonely widow, an American frontier
I hold my head up high today
I call you on the phone and say
You want to take a ride with me
Anywhere you want
Four walls to call my home
For fourteen years
A foolish kid I was with
No head upon my shoulders
I wish someone had showed us
I hold my head up high today
I call you on the phone and say
You want to take a ride with me
Anywhere you want
Early morning, early morning
And I'm calling my baby in the farmland
Got my picture on her fridge door
Chain and locket, she says it was her grandma's
Now I'm fresh out, starting brand new
With my baby, that I'm going up to meet soon
With her green eyes and her black hair
Lonely widow, an American frontier
I hold my head up high today
I call you on the phone and say
You want to take a ride with me
Anywhere you want
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
