Freedom came my way that night   Just like a jet plane in and out of sight   I was hauling last at a million miles an hour   Wondering how hard I'd hit      Singing sweet cheri, cheri, cheri won't you dare to   Leave a message and your number please?   Wrap them in a big red bow   And then send them care of me      I'm taking my chance on the wind   I'm packing up all my bags   Taking a mistake, I gotta make   Oh, then I'm glory bound, oh, oh      So I packed it up and I went to the winds   And I lived out of my VW bus for a year or two   Ain't nothin' but this pipe dream and my guitar   Livin' off apple fields and old cigars      Diggin' this microphone   Checking it out every night all alone   Oh, my car battery is dead again   So I got my head dead set against it      Singing sweet cheri, cheri, cheri won't you dare?   Say cheri, cheri, cheri won't you dare to   Leave a message and your number, please   Wrap up all these fantasies and send them care of me      I'm taking my chance on the wind   I'm packing up all my bags   Taking a mistake, I gotta make   Oh, then I'm glory bound, yes I'm bound      I'm livin' [Incomprehensible]
