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)
