    Story Behind the Song
    As a musical journalist depicting the times as they were in the 1990's.

    Lyrics
    I'm just a freeman
    A cowboy Joe from Montana
    Committed to my convictions
    And the winds of fate that prevail
    I know the G-man
    Is headed north up Texarcana
    With a posse and a badge
    In hot pursuit on my trail

    As I cross the badlands
    of South Dakota
    Out where the Sioux indian
    And buffalo once roamed free
    I know I don't dare look back
    Though I hear them ghost's a callin'
    I'm running late for a date
    With my scheduled destiny

    I'm a freeman, just a freeman

    I had a brother
    Got tangled up with a girl from Reno
    He wrote about a gal named Janet
    Who stole his soul away
    She left him dying
    In a housefire outside Waco
    Swore to myself right then
    I'd avenge that death someday

    Amd Now as night falls
    In Eastern Montana
    I build a fire near Jordan
    To warm my weary bones
    I stir the ashes
    And saddle up in the mornin'
    See the buzzards circlin'
    It's best I'd be headed home

    While I'm a freeman, just a freeman

    So as one nation under God
    Hears of the movement
    We face the facts of the Weaver
    Confrontation in Idaho
    Though a year has passed
    We still feel that blast in Oklahoma
    An eye for an eye, Mike Hill
    Gets shot in Ohio

    He was a freeman, just a freeman
