Damn all those people who don't lose control
Who will never take a foot out of life
You might not think that I care

But you don't know what I know

And damn all those hippies

Who stomp empty footed
Upon all that's good
All that's pure in the world

You might not care what I think
But you don't know what I know


Well I saw those mothers
Who do all they can
Just to take their thoughts out of the line

I might not know what it's like
But I'm glad that you know


Give me a minute there
Just a minute more
It'll come back to me


I was so sure that you
Freewheelin troubadour

You took my mind off the sea
And you know I know I know
I know that you know


You asked me blind once
If I was a child once I said I'm really not sure

How can you know
How can you know
What it is you don't know
