Leather On My Shoes

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 gonig,

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.
