"Turned My Back" lyrics

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
