"How Free Do You Feel"

by Joseph McCombs

The moon rests on its bottom side
You're not here with me tonight
But that's okay -- I'm all right

The sun is rising pretty soon
I won't get up 'til afternoon
But that's okay -- I'll see it then.

          This race is mine --
          I can swim, I can fly:
          How free do you feel?
          How free do you feel?
          (repeat)

You're not sleeping in my bed
The cat is lying there instead
But that's okay -- he's happy there

The nights are cold, but I am not
I could count on one hand the things I've got
But that's okay -- I've still got 'em

          This is not all --
          I won't fade, I won't fall:
          How free do you feel?
          How free do you feel?
          (repeat)

My hundred-to-one shot came in last
I never grabbed that ring of brass
But that's okay -- I'm having fun

My limousine's been repossessed
I guess the Porsche will be next
But that's okay -- I go where I want

          (1st refrain)
          (2nd refrain)
          All shall be one --
          Even me, even you:
          How free do you feel?
          How free do you feel?
          (repeat refrains to fade)
