I've got leather on my shoes,
And i've got a dream to live,
There is nothing left to lose,
So i'm going,
I've got a suitcase here in my hand,
And i've got a hungry heart,
And i'm going to join the millions,
There before me, on the freedom road;
No-one's coming to my door,
And all my friends have gone,
There's no work here anymore,
It's deserted,
And though i know i hate to leave,
From this land that i love,
There's a new tomorrow waiting,
Yes it's shining on the freedom road,
On the freedom road;
Oh sometimes it's going to be lonely,
Sometimes it will be sad,
But i've got to keep on going,
Until i hold that promised land,
In the palm of my hand;
Nothing ventured, nothing gained or won,
Without a hard fight,
We would never reach the sun,
Without trying,
And when we're a million miles from home,
Out in the starry night,
We will see we're not alone,
In the heavens, out on freedom road,
Out on freedom road... out on freedom road.
