Looking For Freedom

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 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 (Ooohooohooo, ooohooohooo)

Walking down the road
With my heavy load
Trying to find some peace of mind (Mind, mind, mind, mind, 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've been looking for freedom (For freedom)
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on (Goes on)

I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town (My freedom)
I've been looking for freedom (Freedom)
Still it can't be found

I paid a lot a dues
Had plenty to lose
Traveling 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
And given some time some day I'm gonna find
The freedom (Freedom, freedom, freedom) I've been looking for

I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
I've been looking so long (Looking so long)
I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
Still the search goes on (Still the search goes on)

I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
Since I left my home town (Left my hometown)
I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
Still it can't be found (Can't be found)

I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
I've been looking so long (Looking so long)
I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
Still the search goes on (Still the search goes on)

I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
Since I left my home town (Left my hometown)
I've been looking for freedom (Looking for freedom)
Still it can't be found (Can't be found)
