Leather On My Shoes - Chris De Burgh

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
