Chris De Burgh - Leather On My Shoes lyrics

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 going

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, out on freedom road
