Chris De Burgh — 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 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
