Text: Jimi Hendrix. Voodoo Child: The Jimi Hendrix Collection. Stone Free.

Everyday in the week I'm in a different city
In my stay too long people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog, talkin' about the clothes I wear
But they don't realize they're the ones who's square

Hey, and that's why
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be down
I gotta move on

Stone free, do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
I got to, got to, got to get away

Listen to this, baby
A woman here, a woman there try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realize it's so easy to break
Oh, but sometimes I get hot, feel my heart kind a runnin' hot
That's when I got to move before I get caught

Hey, and that's why, listen to me, baby
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta be free

I said, "Stone free, do what I please
Stone free, to ride the breeze
Stone free, I can't stay
Got to, got to, got to get away"
Yeah, tear me loose, baby

I said, "Stone free, to ride on the breeze
Stone free, do what I please
Stone free, I can't stay
Stone free, I got to, I got to get away"

Stone free
(I'm gonna leave her right now)
Stone free
(Don't try to hold me back)
Stone free
(I'm goin' on down the highway)
Stone free

Stone free
Move it on, bye, bye baby
Stone free
