Turned My Back

This freedom

This freedom

This freedom

Walkin’ alone

I turned my back on Jill

I turned my back on Jim

I turned my back on us and them

I turned my back on what I couldn’t hold

I turned my back and struck out on my own

I turned my back and I started walking

This freedom

Feelin’ lucky

This freedom

Goin’ nowhere

This freedom

Just walkin’ alone

Good-time Charlies stripped me to the bone

I wanted it and I let them

Took my shoes and threw me out in the cold

Into a place where there was no night or day

There was no manna or quail or nothin’

Come and find me babe

I don’t know where I am

I don’t know where the fuck I am now

This freedom

Feelin’ lucky

This freedom

Goin’ nowhere

This freedom

Just walkin’ alone

I was trying to hold on to the good thing

I was trying to hold on to believing

I held it in my hands, trembling

I held it in my hand

I held it in my hand as the storm was breaking

This freedom

Feelin’ lucky

This freedom

Goin’ nowhere

This freedom

Just walkin’ alone

This freedom

Maybe this time

This freedom

I could make it

This freedom

Trying to find my way home

If I offered you a brand new morning

If I offered you a brand new day

If I offered you a brand new morning

Would you take it?

Would you take it?

I turned my back on looking

I turned my back on finding

I turned my back on searching

I turned my back on

I turned my back on
