   Liberty   by Robert Hunter
   
   Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
   Walking to New Orleans---my, my, my
   Hey, now, Bird, wouldn't you rather die
   than walk this world when you're born to fly?
   
   If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
   If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
   If I was a river I'd run uphill
   And if you call me you know I will
   
   Mmmm, freedom
   Ooo, liberty
   O ... leave me alone
   to find my own way home
   
   I say what I mean and I don't give a damn
   I do believe and I am who I am
   Hey, now, Mama, come take my hand
   Whole lotta shakin' all over this land
   
   If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck
   Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
   If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
   or chop it down and you can't stop me
   
   Mmmm, freedom
   Ooo, liberty
   O ... leave me alone
   to find my own way home
   
   Went to the well but the water was dry
   Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
   Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
   The whole damned world looking back at me
   
   If I was a bottle I'd spill for love
   Sake of mercy I'd kill for love
   If I were a juicer I'd binge for love
   If I were a coward I'd cringe for love
   
   Freedom
   Liberty
   Leave me alone
   to find my own way home
