Damn all those people who don't lose controlWho will never take a foot out of lifeYou might not think that I careBut you don't know what I knowAnd damn all those hippiesWho stomp empty footedUpon all what's goodAll what's pure of the worldYou might not think that I careBut you don't know what I knowAnd bless all those mothersWho do all they canJust to take their thoughts out of the lineI might not know what it's likeBut I'm glad that you know
Give me a minute thereJust a minute nowIt'll come back to meI was so sure but you,Freewheelin' troubadourYou took my mind off the sceneAnd you know when I know then I knowI know that you knowYou asked me blind onceIf I was a child onceAnd I said I'm really not sureHow can you know, how can you knowWhat it is, you don't knowWe were a pair onceOf oh such despair ohWe were a child then I'm sureIf we were a child then
We are children no moreGive me a minute thereJust a minute nowIt'll come back to meI was so sure but youFreewheelin' troubadourYou took my mind off the sceneAnd you know when I know when I knowI know that you knowYou know you know you know when I knowI know that you know
