Lyrics Leather On My Shoes - 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
