Liberty Lyrics - Grateful Dead

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 

If you call me you know I will 

If you call me you know I will 

[Chorus] 

Oh, Freedom 

Oh, Liberty 

Oh, Leave me alone 

to find my own way home 

to find my own way home 

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 

Chop it down and you can't stop me 

[Chorus] 

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 was a liar I'd lie for love 

Sake of my baby I'd die for love 

Sake of my baby I'd die for love 

[Chorus] 

I'm gonna find my own way home
