    The line: “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose” has stuck in my head for over 30 years.

    I can’t put my finger on what it is, but it feels like a profound outlook and I almost look forward to that freedom.

      Yeah, I agree. That phrase was the more memorable one for me for many years until I noticed the “tomorrow” phrase that precedes it. Both of them together in one verse makes it the strongest verse of any song I know of.
