Leather on My Shoes
I've got leather on my shoesAnd I've got a dream to liveThere is nothing left to loseSo I'm goingI've got a suitcase here in my handAnd I've got a hungry heartAnd I'm going to join the millions there before meOn the freedom road
No one's coming to my doorAnd all my friends have goneThere's no work here anymoreIt's desertedAnd though I know I hate to leaveFrom this land that I loveThere's a new tomorrow waiting, yes it's shiningOn the freedom road, on the freedom road
Oh, sometimes it's going to be lonelySometimes it will be sadBut I've got to keep on goingUntil I hold that promised land in the palm of my hand
Nothing ventured, nothing gained or wonWithout a hard fightWe would never reach the sunWithout tryingAnd when we're a million miles from homeOut in the starry nightWe will see we're not alone in the heavensOut on freedom road, out on freedom road
