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
[Chorus]
I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found
I headed down the track
My baggage on my back
I left the city far behind
Walking down on road
With my heavy load
Trying 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 someday"
[Chorus]
I paid a lot of dues
Had plenty to lose
Travelling across the land
Worked on a farm
Got some muscle in my arms
But still I'm gone a self-made man
I feel on the run for many years to come
I'll be searching door to door
And given some time
Some day I'm gonna find
The freedom I've been searching for
[Chorus]
(2x)
