Freedom Song
So here am I talking at the sky thinkin' about it all
I sometimes wonder at the way my life has gone
"Hey boy, you stop that runnin'"
I heard it from a friend just today
But as he spoke, my heart was miles away
So get that old train rollin'
Come on, mister engineer
Need a freedom song to call my own
Take me on away from here, yeah, yeah
Met a girl in California, she asked me if I would stay
And if I could for anyone, oh, you know it, babe
But soon I got that same ol' feelin'
And I've tried to make some sense of it all
Well baby, I've been movin' far too long, yeah, yeah
So get that old train rollin'
Honey, wipe away your tears
Got a freedom song to call my own
Take me on away from here
Hearin' that whistle blowin'
Reminds me of the good ol' days
Back on the road where I belong again, again, yeah, yeah
Something to live for (something to live for)
Oh, the freedom I need
Gotta keep the dream alive now
Gotta keep a piece of me
So get that old train rollin'
Head it on away from here
Back on the road where I belong
Honey, wipe away your tears
Hearin' that old whistle blowing
Reminds me of a brand new day
A freedom song for everyone
Back on the road to stay
(Whoa, whoa)
Give me a freedom song
(Whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)
Yeah, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, oh)
I sometimes wonder at the way my life has gone
"Hey boy, you stop that runnin'"
I heard it from a friend just today
But as he spoke, my heart was miles away
So get that old train rollin'
Come on, mister engineer
Need a freedom song to call my own
Take me on away from here, yeah, yeah
Met a girl in California, she asked me if I would stay
And if I could for anyone, oh, you know it, babe
But soon I got that same ol' feelin'
And I've tried to make some sense of it all
Well baby, I've been movin' far too long, yeah, yeah
So get that old train rollin'
Honey, wipe away your tears
Got a freedom song to call my own
Take me on away from here
Hearin' that whistle blowin'
Reminds me of the good ol' days
Back on the road where I belong again, again, yeah, yeah
Something to live for (something to live for)
Oh, the freedom I need
Gotta keep the dream alive now
Gotta keep a piece of me
So get that old train rollin'
Head it on away from here
Back on the road where I belong
Honey, wipe away your tears
Hearin' that old whistle blowing
Reminds me of a brand new day
A freedom song for everyone
Back on the road to stay
(Whoa, whoa)
Give me a freedom song
(Whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)
Yeah, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, oh)
