One morning in june some twenty years ago

I was born a rich mans 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 youll be sorry son

If you leave your home this way

And when you realize the freedom money buys

Youll 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

Ill be on the run for many years to come

Ill be searching door to door

But given some time some day I'm gonna find

The freedom I've been searchin for
