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 are gone And 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
