We left home when we was barely past eleventeen
Been back and fourth and all around through hell and rain
I've loved you half of your life and I?ll keep on lovin? you
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
We spend a lot of time out on the highway
That red bandana tied around your auburn hair
You look like you ought to be somebody's wife somewhere
You ain't never going to be no Bobby McGee but you?re tryin? to
But I can't change and live the way you want me to
Every time you leave the stage I know you've had your fill
