Free and easy, that's my style
Howdy do me, watch me smile
Fare thee well me after a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home

Sweet'nin' water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in the tree pick up and go
And the goin' proves
That's how it ought to be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me

Cross the river, 'round the bend
Howdy, stranger, so long, friend
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That's keeps whisperin', "Roam"
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home

Birds roostin' in the tree pick up and go
And the goin' proves
That's how it ought to be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me
Cross the river, 'round the bend
Howdy, stranger, so long, friend
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That's keeps whisperin', "Roam"
I'm goin' where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Any place I hang my hat is home
