David Hasselhoff - Looking For Freedom Lyrics
One morning in June, some twenty years ago
I was born a rich man's son
I had everything that money could buy
But freedom I had none
I've been looking for freedom, I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom, still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom, since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom, still it can't be found
I headed down the track, my baggage on my back
I left the city far behind
Walking down that road with my heavy load
Trying to find some ease of mind
Father said, "You'll be sorry, son if you
Leave your home this way and when you realize
The freedom money buys
You'll come running home someday"
I've been looking for freedom, I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom, still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom, since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom, still it can't be found
I made a lot of dues, had plenty to lose
Traveling across the land
Worked on a farm, got some muscle in my arms
But still I'm not a self-made man
I feel the run for many years to come
I'll be searching door to door
And given some time, someda

I've been looking for freedom
