I'm tired of this dirty old city
Entirely too much work and never enough pay
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks
I think I'll walk off my steady job today

Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
Gimme all I got comin' to me
And keep your retirement
And your so called social security
Big city, turn me loose and set me free

(instrumental)

Been working everyday since I was twenty
Haven't got a lot to show, for anything I've done
I know folks who never work and they've got plenty
I think it's time folks like you and me had some fun

Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
Gimme all I got comin' to me
And keep your retirement
And your so called social security
Big city, turn me loose and set me free

I said big city, turn me loose and set me free
