  • Everyday in the week I'm in a different city
    If I stay too long people try to pull me down
    They talk about me like a dog
    Talkin' about the clothes I wear
    But they don't realize they're the ones who's square

    Hey!
    And that's why

    You can't hold me down
    I don't want to be down I gotta move on
    Ah

    Stone free to do what I please
    Stone free to ride the breeze
    Stone free I can't stay
    I got to got to got to get away right now

    Alright
    Listen to this baby
    A woman here a woman there try to keep me in a plastic cage
    But they don't realize it's so easy to break
    But sometimes I get a ha
    Feel my heart kind of runnin' hot
    That's when I've got to move before I get caught

    Hey that's why, listen to me baby, you can't hold me down
    I don't want to be tied down
    I gotta be free
    Owh!

    I said
    Stone free to do what I please
    Stone free to ride the breeze
    Stone free I can't stay
    Got to got to got to get away
    Yeah ow!
    Tear me loose baby

    Yeah! Owh!
    Stone free to ride on the breeze
    Stone free to do what I please
    Stone free I can't stay
    Stone free I got to I got to get away
    Stone free I'm gone baby, right now, don't try to hold me back
    Stone free go on down the highway


    Stone free I got to, got to, got to
    Stone free bye bye baby Writer/s: Jimi Hendrix
