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
I could never bear to leave you behind
Will you be my guiding star?
I 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's 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
Will you be my guiding star?
You know that you already are
