They tried to fence the meadow
And they tried to brand the soul
They offered me a silver cup
If I'd play a servant's role
But I've seen the way the mountain stands
I've seen the eagle fly
And I won't trade my freedom
For a comfortable life
You build your gilded cages
And your laws written in sand
I'm a sovereign spirit
On a piece of rugged land
And a compass in my conscience
And a fire in my soul
I'm the only one here
Who's in total control
Oh you can't cage an outlaw spirit
You can't chain the wind
I'm living in the spaces
Where the wild things begin
You can burn the bridges
And you can lock the gate
But you'll never find a shackle
That can carry all my weight
Yeah the flag is in the dirt
But the spirit's in the tree
Outlaw spirit
Is the only way for me
I see 'em punch the clock
And I see 'em bow the head
Trading in their heart
For a slice of factory bread
But I'd rather be hungry
In the cold winter rain
And live like a ghost
With a velvet-wrapped chain
The white lines are calling
And the mountain is tall
I'm a sovereign man
Who ain't ready for the fall
Oh you can't cage an outlaw spirit
You can't chain the wind
I'm living in the spaces
Where the wild things begin
You can burn the bridges
And you can lock the gate
But you'll never find a shackle
That can carry all my weight
Yeah the flag is in the dirt
But the spirit's in the tree
Outlaw spirit
Is the only way for me
You can't buy the dignity
And you can't sell the pride
I'm the master of the mountain
In the heart deep inside
Outlaw spirit
The heart never fears
The world's gonna hear it
Outlaw spirit
The heart never fears
The world's gonna hear it
