Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pick 'Em Up Lyrics

Well, sometimes I lose my direction
And sometimes I jump off track
But when I hideout, baby
I can always get it back

I need to feel the cool breeze in my face
The rumble of the engine between my legs
Hey, little sister
You can color me gone

So if I want to stay out all night long
You can't stop me from runnin' wild, yeah
Don't you worry how long I'm gone
I'll come back every once in awhile

I pick 'em up and lay 'em on down
I never like my feet to ever hit the ground
Don't miss me when I'm gone 'cause I'll be around
I'm a free spirit, baby pick me up and lay me on down
That's right

Well, I know that I got me a good life
Jim Beam and woman they treat me right
I make my own rules
Like it or not

Now don't miss understand me, baby
I'll give in every once in awhile
Yeah well, it's tough love, honey
I'll leave you with a smile

So if I want to stay out all night long
You can't stop me from runnin' wild
Now, don't you worry how long I'm gone
I'll come back every once in awhile

I pick 'em up and lay 'em on down
I never like my feet to ever hit the ground
Don't miss me when I'm gone 'cause I'll be around
I'm a free spirit, baby pick me up and lay me on down

I've been here, I've been there, I've been every where
I wouldn't tell you no lies
And just like me your a wild one
Won't you take me runnin around

I pick 'em up and lay 'em on down
I never like my feet to ever hit the ground
Don't miss me when I'm gone 'cause I'll be around
I'm a free spirit, baby pick me up and lay me on down
Yeah, I'm a free spirit, baby pick me up and lay me on down

Ya gotta lay me on down, yes you do
I'm a free spirit, I know ya are Johnny
Oh, that's what I do
