Well I'm as free as a bird now, As flight-free as a bumble bee 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, Till 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, Till it just won't rock no more
