I put a for sale sign on the front of my truck
Said call anytime cause I'm always up
Make an offer, one that I won't refuse
I bought a one way ticket on a west bound plane
Four hours later I was wearing shades in California
Just hanging loose

I didn't pack one memory
Oh, and even though I'm free

I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me

Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me

I was up all night 'cause I couldn't sleep
Instead of staring at the ceiling I hit the beach
I took a long walk, it didn't help me much
Sat down in the sand with a handful of shells
Kicked off my shoes while me myself and I watched
The sun come up

Looking out across the sea
It's finally dawned on me

I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me

Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me

Maybe I'm not in your arms
But you still own my heart

I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me

Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me

Reid went on to attend Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, where he met his wife (and was a kicker on the varsity football team). He was nominated for the 2008 Juno Award for Country Recording of the Year for Kicking Stones. Reid was named Male Artist of the Year at both the 2008 and 2009 CCMA Awards.
