Freeman |
I met him on the motorway, said he was a free man |
And did I have a cigarette |
Hed been all over travelling, looking for a little gold |
He said with a laugh, I found nothing yet |
He had to get out of Ireland |
The police there theyve got a lot of tricks |
They give a dog a bad name — |
You better believe that it always sticks |
And he was worried about the rain |
Lord, hed never seen it rain so hard |
And I was thinking about that flame that burned in his heart |
Hed heard about a job in London town |
He hit the road from Liverpool |
But if your name is Pat or Michael |
Some men treat you like a fool |
And he loved to hear old Brady sing |
He knew all the words to Arthur Mc Bride |
And when I put it on my stereo |
Old man broke right down and cried |
He talked about a bar he knew in Dublin |
Lord, he wished we were there tonight |
And we talked about the travelling — |
Sooner or later were gonna get it right |
When I left him on that same motorway |
It was a bright cafe in a dark night |
And as I turned away to leave him |
He said, Lady Luck may she treat you right |
