[Verse 1]
Hey wouldn't you wanna know
Everywhere that river flows to right now
I can show you how
Well someday you might wanna go
Someday you got nothin’ to show for all your pain
For all your change
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn’t you like to know

[Chorus]
How it feels to live like a free man
To give when there's nothing in your hand
To run like only the river can
Like a free man

[Verse 2]
You've only so may roads to choose
Sooner or later the ones you lose
They all look the same
Yea someday you might feel the need
Someday when you're tired of bleeding for someone else
Your gonna want it for yourself
No I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know
[Chorus]
How it feels to live like a free man
To give when there's nothing in your hand
To run like only the river can
Like a free man

[Bridge]
Yea I ain’t saying it’s the only way
No I ain't saying it’s the only way
But wouldn't you like to know

[Chorus]
How it feels to live like a free man
Give when there's nothing in your hand
To run like only the river can
Like a free man (run run run like the river can, like a free man)
A free man (run run run like the river can)
A free man
A free man (run run run like the river can)
(Like a free man, run run run like the river can)
