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



Refrain: 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
