  • David Hasselhoff - Looking for Freedom 1989
    One morning in June some twenty years ago
    I was born a rich man's son.
    I had everything that money could buy
    but freedom I had none.
    I've been looking for freedom
    I've been looking so long
    I've been looking for freedom
    still the search goes on.
    I've been looking for freedom
    since I left my home town
    I've been looking for freedom
    still it can't be found.
    I headed down the track
    my baggage on my back
    I left the city far behind.
    Walking down the road
    with my heavy load
    Trying to find some peace of mind.
    Father said: You'll be sorry son
    if you leave your home this way
    And when you realize
    the freedom money buys
    You'll come running home some day.
    I've been looking for freedom
    I've been looking so long
    I've been looking for freedom
    still the search goes on.
    I've been looking for freedom
    since I left my home town
    I've been looking for freedom
    still it can't be found.
    I paid a lotta dues
    had plenty to lose
    travelling across the land.
    Worked on a farm
    got some muscle in my arm
    But still I'm not a self-made man.
    I'll be on the run for many years to come
    I'll be searching door to door.
    But given some time
    someday I'm gonna find
    The freedom I've been searching for.
    I've been looking for freedom
    I've been looking so long
    I've been looking for freedom
    still the search goes on.
    I've been looking for freedom
    since I left my home town
    I've been looking for freedom
    still it can't be found.
    I've been looking for freedom
    I've been looking so long
    I've been looking for freedom
    still the search goes on.
    I've been looking for freedom
    since I left my home town
    I've been looking for freedom
    still it can't be found.

    I met David Hasselhoff at a coffee bean. (for those that don't know it's a coffee shop in California) all I remember is he was very friendly and he stood up to shake my head and asked me for my name. I had a hard time saying my name because I was blown away by how tall he is and his hands were huuuge he could have been a basketball player! I always thought he was so cool and then getting to meet him and find out how cool he was and how nice he was made him even cooler. I remember putting out my hand saying you're the Hoff and he stood up and grabbed my head and said yes I am and what is your name? Great memories.

    This music should have been played when Michael Knight saved the day in each Knight Rider episodes! :D
    Michael Knight: - Kitt buddy, come join me and sing along
    Kitt: - Of course Michael.
