Leather On My Shoes Lyrics - 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.
