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
