(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1974)

From the album UNBORN CHILD (1974)

Big Mac movin' down the highway sound Got it wide open and he's southway bound
I had my pack over my shoulder Somehow I don't feel much older
Captain layin' on the barroom floor Ain't a-goin' back to that town no more
Well, he said I looked funny, won't leave me alone
Mmm Big Mac, move on now and take me home

Take me where I can be free Take me where my lungs can breathe

Big wheels hummin', hear the highway scream Big Mac movin' on through the rain
Headlights playin' like an old the-a-ter If I don't go now I can't go later
Velvet lady on a sunlit porch Cigarette burnin' like a noonday torch
I stayed a little while and I stayed a little longer It got a little wild and it got a little warmer
Turn me loose and take me home

Take me where I can be free Take me where my lungs can breathe
