Song Detail — Liberty (Grateful Dead)
Lyrics
Saw a bird with a tear in his eyeWalking to New Orleans, singing "my oh my"
I said "Hey bird, wouldn't you rather die
Than walk this world when you were born to fly?"
If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I were a river, I'd run up hill
You call on me, and you know I will
You call on me, and you know I will
Ooh freedom
Ooh liberty
Ohh leave me alone
I'm gonna find my own way home
I'm gonna find my own way home
Say what I mean, and I don't give a damn
I do believe I am who I am
Hey pretty mama, come and take my hand
Whole lotta shakin goin all over this land
If I was an eagle, I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like lizard, honk like truck
If I get the notion, I'll climb this tree
Or chop it down, no you can't stop me
Or chop it down, no you can't stop me
Ooh freedom
Ooh liberty
Ohh leave me alone
I'm gonna find my own way home
I'm gonna find my own way home
Went to the well, but the well was dry
I dipped my bucket up in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom, well what did I see
The whole damn world lookin back at me
If I was a bottle, I'd spill for life
Sake of mercy, I would kill for love
If I was a liar, well I'd lie for love
Sake of my baby, well I'd die for love
Sake of my baby, I'd die for love
Ooh freedom
Ooh liberty
Ohh leave me alone
I'm gonna find my own way home
I'm gonna find my own way home
Ooh freedom
Ooh liberty
Ohh leave me alone
I'm gonna find my own way home
I'm gonna find my own way home...
