Where?d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
He?s still crawdad fishin? at the waterin? hole
I must?ve turned eighteen and drove away
After all these years I?m finding my way
Oh, back to climbin? up that old old tree
Cadd2
Back to a simpler state of mind,
Cadd2
Bottle rocket - blackcat ? firefly,
Cadd2
Back to real, back to me
Oh back to free, like we used to be
You and me, let?s get back to free
verse 2
How the hell did we wind up here,
Self-medicated in a lazy chair?
All set for dying, locked in our homes,
Nobody?s talking but we?re all on the phone
Back to climbin? up that old old tree
Cadd2
Back to a simpler state of mind,
Cadd2
Bottle rocket - blackcat ? firefly,
Cadd2
Back to real, back to me
Oh back to free, like we used to be
You and me, let?s get back to free
Instrumental
Bridge
Rope swing; main street; pregnancy scare
Cadd2
Empty pockets; sweet lover?s lane;
Cadd2
Short fuse; good news, plants were tall
Cadd2
We had nothing, we had it all
We were free, like we used to be
You and me, let?s get back to free
Outro
Where?d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
He?s still rawdad fishin? at the waterin? hole
