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 break way for the road
