When I came into this world, I cut the silence with my howl I was forged in the mountains 'til the wheel brought me on down The world never saw me comin' when it did, it started runnin' That's why time flies whenever I'm around
I made my great escape in nothin' but a bathin' suit They found me floatin' down the river in the constable's canoe Bobby wrapped me in a blanket said, "There's nothin' we can do For a little Lady Vagabond like you"
You can call me, I won't come Call me Lady Vagabond I camе rollin' down the mountains on the run Call me Lady Vagabond
"Farеwell 'til tomorrow, town! " I hit the trail hard-nosed I had no means to travel, but I knew where I was goin' I had a vision of my Padre in his silver bolero Constable chased me all the way to Mexico
You can call me, I won't come Call me Lady Vagabond Queen of the highway, daughter of the sun Call me Lady, Lady Vagabond
When the Turquoise Trail betrayed me, I was mighty low down I set out to find myself an easy-livin' crowd Vegas never saw me comin' but they should've started runnin' 'Cause the money disappeared when I came to town
And you can call me, I won't come I'm a Lady Vagabond I'm the queen of the Neon Strip and the Midnight Sun Lucky Lady, Lady Vagabond, uh-huh
I got pinched for indiscretion at a mighty intersection Paid dearly for the lies I bought and sold Every cage I ever rattled, every chain I ever broke Every dream of happy-ever-after, it went up in smoke
Well, I guess it's back to the wilderness I go
I fell into the canyon on a January evening The mountains looked a mighty lot like home I take the high road when I can and when I can't, I take a man It sure as Hell beats sleepin' all alone
You can call me, I won't come Call me Lady Vagabond Queen of the Highway and the desert sun Call me Lady, Lady Vagabond
Now if you look a little closer at the lines upon my face You'll see every road I drove and every dream I ever chased I've probably died a million times my ghosts are kinda friends of mine They ride along and hem my pride the vestiges of all my lives Sometimes they even give me good advice So I never take the wrong exit twice
You can call me, I won't come Call me Lady Vagabond You can call me, I won't come Call me Lady Vagabond
Queen of the highway, daughter of the sun Call me Lady, Lady Vagabond
