Stone Free
Jimi Hendrix & The Jimi Hendrix Experience Lyrics

Everyday in the week I'm in a different city
I travel constantly and don't stay in one place for too long.

If I stay too long people try to pull me down
If I stay in one place for too long, people start talking badly about me and trying to bring me down.

They talk about me like a dog
They speak about me disrespectfully and in a negative way, like I am worthless.

Talkin' about the clothes I wear
They criticize my fashion choices, acting as if my clothes are the source of my problems.

But they don't realize they're the ones who's square
They don't understand that their opinions are out of touch and outdated, and that they are the ones who are uncool.

You can't hold me down
Nobody can stop me or keep me from doing what I want.

I don't want to be down I gotta move on
I don't want to stay stagnant or stuck, I need to keep moving forward and finding new experiences.

Stone free to do what I please
I am free to live my life however I choose, without being held back by anyone else's expectations or opinions.

Stone free to ride the breeze
I am free to go wherever I want, without any restrictions or limitations.

Stone free I can't stay
I am unable to remain in one place for too long because it goes against my nature.

Got to got to got to get away right now
I need to leave immediately and embark on my next adventure.

A woman here a woman there try to keep me in a plastic cage
Women have attempted to control me and limit my freedom in the past by trying to confine me to their own expectations and desires.

But they don't realize it's so easy to break
They underestimate how quickly and easily I can break free from their attempts to contain me.

Feel my heart kind of runnin' hot
I'm filled with a sense of passion and excitement that motivates me to keep moving forward.

That's when I've got to move before I get caught
When I feel trapped or held back, I know it's time to leave before I get pulled down and lose my sense of freedom and independence.

I don't want to be tied down
I refuse to be restricted or limited in any way, especially by anyone else's expectations or desires.

I gotta be free
I need to maintain my sense of freedom and independence at all times.

Stone free I'm gone baby, right now, don't try to hold me back
I am leaving immediately and won't let anyone else try to stop me or hold me back.

Stone free go on down the highway
I am free to travel and explore the world in any way I see fit.

Stone free I got to, got to, got to
I absolutely have to maintain my sense of freedom and independence, no matter what.

Stone free bye bye baby
I am saying goodbye to anyone who tries to hold me back or limit my sense of freedom.
