When the freedom you've know has left you a broken man And anything you've ever owned slipped thru your hands Well, it don't really matter at all and you don't give a damn Oh, the fortunes that shackled the heart and the soul of a man Some men search for silver, some men look for gold But you have found a treasure their pockets will never hold Some men look forever and still they never find They don't know that freedom is just a state of mind When you've burned all your bridges and you've covered all your tracks Well, it goes with out sayin' there's never no turnin' back When the highway to nowhere has finally come to an end Well, they might think you're crazy when you tell 'em you'd do it again Some men search for silver, some men look for gold But you have found a treasure their pockets will never hold Some men look forever but still they never find They don't know that freedom is just a state of mind
