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 what's good

All what's pure of the world

You might not think that I care

But you don't know what I know

And bless all those mothers

Who do all they can

Just to take the faults 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 now

It'll come back to me

And I was so sure

But you

Free wheelin troubadour

You took my mind off the scene

And you, 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

We were a pair once

Of no such despair once

We were a child then I'm sure

If we were a child then we are children no more

Give me a minute there

Just a minute now

It'll come back to me

And I was so sure

But you

Free wheelin troubadour

You took my mind off the scene

And you, I know, I know

I know, I know that you know

You know, you know, you know

When I know that you know
