Lyrics

Fred de Fred
I am Fred de Bed
Fred de anywhere I lay my head
I will be out the door fore you can say Troubadour
Let me repeat once more
I'm Fred de Fred
Fred de Fred

The tears in your eyes are rank stupidity
Yes, you knew right from the start that I would leave
When you are born on the road the only home is the road
And right now that's where I want to be
I did not want to take from you that which you did not want to give
You gave yourself so sweetly and sincere
That was a perfect moment, I will treasure it, but moments pass
So now it's time for me to disappear

Fred de Fred
I am Fred de Bed

One day maybe you know
I mean I am not talking about settling down you understand
It's just well
if I found someone on my wavelengh maybe
It would nice to kind of pause for a while
It's just an idea

Fred de Fred
I am Fred de Bed
Fred de anywhere I lay my head
I will be out the door fore you can say Troubadour
Let me repeat once more
I'm Fred de Fred

In my life I've played many parts
Touched many parts; broke many hearts
In jails and monastries I've laid my head
You cannot buy experience the kind of life that I have led
You cannot buy the life of Fred de Fred

Oh, Fred de Fred
I am Fred de Bed

That idea we were talking about you know
I would not completely rule it out for the future
We'll see
All depends on finding the right kind a woman I suppose
Beautiful, intelligent, a bit of gipsy too
Now where on earth do you find a woman like that
