Already Are

Marie will you come with me
I’m headed for a land that’s free
We’ll take my horse and travel North
Will you come with me?

Oh everywhere a man can go
There are some above and some below
Some before and some behind
It won’t be different this time

Oh I know but I have got to try
And I could never bear to leave you behind
Will you be my guiding star?
You know that you already are

I cannot stay, I am not free
I heed a crown across the sea
And she cares not a thing for me
Will you come with me?

Is there a place a man can go
Where he might simply be alone
Elude the ambit of the law
I have sailed the seven seas
In search of land and liberty
They cannot take away from me
I will travel high and low
Until I find a place on God’s green earth to call my own

Oh everywhere a man can go
(Marie will you come with me)
There are some above and some below
(I’m headed for a land that’s free)
Some before and some behind
(We’ll take my horse and travel north)
It won’t be different this time

Oh I know but we have got to try
And I could never bear to stay behind
(And I could never bear to leave you behind)
Will you be my guiding star?
You know that you already are
