Looking For Freedom

One morning in june some twenty years ago

I was born a rich man's son

I had everything that money could buy

But freedom - i had none



I've been lookin' for freedom

I've been lookin' so long

I've been lookin' for freedom

Still the search goes on

I've been lookin' for freedom

Since i left my home town

I've been lookin' for freedom

Still it can't be found



I headed down the track, my baggage on my back

I left the city far behind

Walkin' down the road, with my heavy load

Tryin' to find some peace of mind

Father said you'll be sorry, son,

If you leave your home this way

And when you realize the freedom money buys

You'll come running home some day



I paid a lotta dues, had plenty to lose

Travelling across the land

Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arm

But still i'm not a self-made man

I'll be on the run for many years to come

I'll be searching door to door

But, given some time, some day i'm gonna find

The freedom i've been searchin' for
