Freedom came my way that night
Just like a jet plane in and out of sight
Oh, I was hauling ass at a million miles an hour
Wondering how hard I'd hit
So say, "Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, won't you dare to?"
Leave a message and your number, please
Wrap 'em up in a big red bow and send them care of me
I'm taking my chance on the wind
I'm packing up all my bags
Taking a mistake I gotta make
Oh, then I'm glory bound
Hmm-mm-mm
So I packed it up and I
Went to the winds and I
Lived out of a VW bus for a year or two
Ain't nothing but this pipe dream and my guitar
Livin' off for apple fields and old cigars
Diggin' this microphone
Checking it out every night all alone
And my car battery is dead again
So I got my head dead set against it
So say, "Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, won't you dare to?"
Say, "Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, won't you dare to?"
Leave a message and your number, please
Wrap 'em up in a big red bow and send them care of me
I'm taking a chance on the wind
I'm packing up all my bags
Taking a mistake I gotta make
And then I'm glory bound
Give you some bound, yeah
