Songtexte

I had twenty-one miles of road to go
And fifty-four miles of dirt
There was a cold steel gleam in the night
I was trucking along down Interstate 5
Looking for the turn
When something snapped and I suddenly changed my mind
I said bye, bye, bye
Oh, I finally took a stand
Then for the very first time
I felt like a man
So, I headed on down to Mexico
I was never going back to work
Yes, I had enough cash to last me there for years
And then I cabled my folks, I said, "Call my boss
And you can tell him where I left the truck"
And then I went out and stocked up
On enchiladas and beer
I said bye, bye, bye
Whoa, I finally took a stand
Then for the very first time in my life
I felt like a man, like a man, man, man, man
Well, now that all happened back in 1961
And I never went back to work
And then in 1964 I started living off the land
And the people back home still talk about me
Just running off without a word
But me and the beer and the Mexican sunshine
We don't give a damn
Whoa no, no, no
I said bye, bye, bye
Whoa, I finally took a stand
Now for the very first time
I feel like a man, a free man
