And I'm not gonna lay here staring at the flakes in the paint While they dance in the sun And I'm not gonna let you show me my direction My feet know which way to run And I won't be bound, won't be bound Won't look down, won't look down And I won't be bound, won't be bound Won't look down, won't look down And I'm never gonna let a little Metal make me settle for a criminal life When my soul wanders free And you've got what I want but I'm Never gonna let a little barbed wire line Take what my soul believes And I won't be bound, won't be bound Won't look down, won't look down And I won't be bound, won't be bound Won't look down, no, no, no And with my head down low, at the window with my eyes closed Along the rope we go, and we jump over the wire Now we make way for the road
