Well, I'm as free as a bird now
As flight-free as a bumblebee
I'm here and then gone tomorrow
Footloose child and fancy free
I'm absolutely independent
And nothing at all is gonna worry me

Yeah, I've only got one cradle to rock now
I'm gonna rock it everywhere I go
From St. Louie to San Francisco
From Canada to Mexico
I'm gonna let my cradle rock now
'Til it just won't rock no more

Well, I believe I was born to ramble
The open road is gonna bring me close
I've come to know some way out people
To say the least, they give the most
Who live and love across both borders
Trip east from west, from coast to coast

Yeah, I've only got one cradle to rock now
I'm gonna rock it everywhere I go
From New York to California
From Texas to Toronto
Yeah, I'm gonna let my cradle rock now
'Til it just won't rock no more
