[Verse 1]
I'll be leavin' with the mornin' sun
My girl's tellin' me that I'm the one
She hears weddin' bells, it's time to run
She's tryin' to tie me down
No one's gonna tie me down
[Verse 2]
Folks keep tellin' me to plant my roots
Find a job and buy some mohair suits
Just 'cause everybody else commutes
They're tryin' to tie me down
No one's gonna tie me down
[Bridge]
I can't help it
If I feel like the wind in the trees
It would shift and
I'll be driftin' and go where I please
[Verse 3]
I'll be leavin' with the mornin' dew
Won't stop runnin' 'til my days are through
And if I happen to meet up with you
Don't try to tie me down
No one's gonna tie me down
[Outro]
And if I happen to meet up with you
Don't try to tie down
No one's gonna tie me down
Tie me down
No one's gonna tie me down
Tie me down
No one's gonna tie me down
Tie me down
