Verse 1:
Break these chains, I'm running wild through Mississippi
An odyssey so hard to see, odds stacked against me
Caught me a ride from a blind man on the tracks
Don't seek the treasure son, there ain't no turnin back

Pre Chorus:
Do not seek the treasure
Loneliness is what you'll find

Verse 2:
This corn whiskey's got me drugged out of my mind
Go to sleep little baby, you'll be fine
I saw those gypsies turn a man to a horny toad
Big Dans a comin'
Pack it up, let's hit the road

Pre Chorus:
How dare she change her name
I wasn't killed by no god damn train
I'll rip that suitor limb from limb
Try marrying my wife again.

Chorus:
Give me my freedom, my fortune and my life
Endure the lynches and the trenches
Make it right
I've drug the lake, been to the belly of the beast
Slayed a grand wizard, been pardoned now I'm free.

Verse 3:
Those soggy bottom boys unseen by human eyes
That man without a soul went and took us by surprise
He took us by surprise
I'm telling you

Pre Chorus:
Do not seek the treasure
Loneliness is what you'll find
Do not seek the treasure
Loneliness is what you'll find

Chorus:
Give me my freedom, my fortune and my life
Endure the lynches and the trenches
Make it right
I've drug the lake, been to the belly of the beast
Slayed a grand wizard, been pardoned now I'm free.

I'm free.

Bridge:
In constant sorrow, all through my days
I'm bonafide, I've changed my way
In constant sorrow, all through my days
I'm bonafide, I've changed my ways
(x2)

Chorus:
Give me my freedom, my fortune and my life
Endure the lynches and the trenches
Make it right
Drag through the lake, been to the belly of the beast
Slayed a grand wizard, been pardoned now I'm free.
