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 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
    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 paid a lotta dues
  had plenty to lose
  travelling 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
  but, given some time
  some day I'm gonna find
  the freedom I've been searching for
    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
