I put a "For Sale" sign on the front of my truck
It said, Call anytime, I'm always up
Make an offer
One that I won't refuse
I bought a one-way ticket on a west-bound plane
Four hours later I was wearin' shades
In California
Yeah, just hangin' loose
I didn't pack one memory
But even though I'm free
I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me
Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me
I was up all night 'cause I couldn't sleep
Instead a-starin' at the ceilin' I hit the beach
Took a long walk
It didn't help me much
I sat down in the sand with a handful of shells
Kicked off my shoes while me, myself
And I watched
The sun come up
Lookin' out across the sea
Oh, well, it finally dawned on me
I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me
Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me
Maybe I'm not in your arms
You own me
But you still own my heart
I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me
Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me
Oh, yeah
Alright
