I owned a restaurant—it ate my lunch
Managed a boxer—it was a one-two punch
Became a doctor—broke my account
Trained a racehorse—I had to dismount
Now I’m a free man livin’ in a free land
Look at me—I’m really free
And wherever I hang it—that’s my home dang it
The only place that’s real
I’m livin’ in hatville
Money—what the hell is that
Just some paper you stuff in your pants
But there’s this little thing--let’s call it life
You got plenty-a-that—well you’re doin’ alright
And I’m a free man livin’ in a free land
Look at me—I’m really free
And wherever I hang it—that’s my home dang it
The only place that’s real
I’m livin’ in hatville
Some crave power—some crave fame
But any way you play it
it’s still the same old game
I’d rather be a free man livin’ in a free land
Look at me—I’m really free
And wherever I hang it—that’s my home dang it
The only place that’s real
I’m livin’ in hatville
Hatville
