Sweet Freedom lyrics

I've got a dollar deal hidden
Down in my shoe
So listen friends
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna run up
The road of mystery
Hangin' by a thread to a fantasy
A background black
Showing my face
Buried in the image
Of an empty space

I'm back on my feet
Getting no sleep
Makin' it all mine
Give me a chance
To follow the bands
Waitin' for the sunshine

Husslin' my will

STEALIN'
Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.
Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.
Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.
Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.

One day ...

Didn't I tell ya
Everything was gonna be alright
I never doubted
It was just a matter of time
And though I've travelled
Across the desert of despair
I know I'll get there one day

How times have changed
I better re-arrange it everything
But it can't change the love I bring
When I get back home to you
I am the same
It's just a game that I chose to play

As you look around you
Do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes
Makes you lonely
Do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be okay
Without my company?
I just want you to be happy
Even if it's not with me

Sweet sweet freedom
Sweet sweet sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet sweet Freedom
Sweet sweet sweet

What I'm really tryin' to say

If I had the time
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care
To change a thing
As long as I find
Just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh
And I can sing

I can have my fun
With the silver stars
I can watch the sun
Fall in the sea
And if it rains
I will smile just the same
For the rain
Will make the flowers sing

I know how it is to feel sad

Don't try to be anything else
But what you are
Don't try to do anything else
But the things you do
'Cause I had a dream
About seven stars
And the seven good things
That you are to me

The very reason I'm livin'
Is just for lovin' you
And the seasons are changin'
Makin' it all come true
‘Cause with the spring
And clearing skies
Love's soft light

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane

Then something will come
And make you feel
The master in control
Still you're picking up
And screwing anyone
Who's got a soul

I've been here
Far too long to remember
Sights and sounds
From this town of clowns
Makin' up, dressin' up
Walkin' around

A pilgrim at the grey of dawn
Leaving in the mist of morning
On his journey of goodness
Heaven sent, God blessed

Pilgrim laughing at the world
Spreading joy
At the touch of his hand
Wiping out all the misery
Making love and history

Those of us who don't know war
We shouldn't try to make it
So many did and even more died
Do you think you could take it?

I don't mind
If you steal my last dime
Just leave me anytime
And I'll get, get along fine
I don't really know why
But I know I'll get by
If I don't I'll die tryin'

If it rains again
I'm gonna fly to the sun
'Cause nothing gets done
Just sitting, sitting around
Look at the way it's been
Just waitin' and wonderin'
I've just got to keep trying

Looking for gold in the sky

Well, I've been on the road
For a year or more
And I've done a lot of things
I never did before
Now I want everyone
To listen to my song
And you can tell me
When you've heard it
If you think I'm wrong

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Please help me

Well I've seen 'em rise
And I've seen 'em fall
And I use to think that

For many years I felt like a man
Feeling his way through darkness
This priceless treasure
For which I've searched
Appeared to me nothing more
Than a mirage in the sea

But when the vision faded
From this struggle and dream
Suddenly my illusion is diarry
I've now discovered what's reality

Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
I've found you
Even if you're only
Even if you're only
