Ridin'
Train's in the station
Won't be stoppin' long
Won't be comin' back this way
Comin' back this way again, oh
Don't miss this chance
To face and understand the past
'Cause the truth will set you free, my friend, Lord, Lord
Truth will set you free, my friend
Lord, we're ridin' on the freedom train
Ridin' on to Memphis
Where they killed a king, remember that?
Derailed for a while
Uh, but now we're back on track (track)
Stoppin' in Rosewood
Pickin' up survivors
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
When you be ridin'
Lord, we're ridin' on the freedom train
Lord
If anybody asks you where I am
Uh, when they don't see me 'round
'Round here anymore
Tell 'em if they wanna find me
All they have to do is follow
Follow they hearts and get onboard
Get onboard
When you be ridin'
Ridin' on the freedom train
Come on, stand by me y'all
Stoppin' in Rosewood
Pickin' up survivors
Stoppin' in Selma
Lord, Montgomery, too
Stoppin' in Gainesville, mm-mm
Stoppin' in Money, Mississippi
Thinkin' 'bout Emmett Till
Y'all remember Emmett Till?
When you be ridin'
Ridin' on your freedom train
When you be ridin'
Ridin' on the freedom train
Come go away with me to that land
Come on, stand by me, Lord
Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm, mm-mm
To that land
Come on, stand by me, Lord
Stand by me, Lord
(We're ridin' on the freedom train)
Ridin'
We're ridin' on the freedom train
Won't be stoppin' long
Won't be comin' back this way
Comin' back this way again, oh
Don't miss this chance
To face and understand the past
'Cause the truth will set you free, my friend, Lord, Lord
Truth will set you free, my friend
Lord, we're ridin' on the freedom train
Ridin' on to Memphis
Where they killed a king, remember that?
Derailed for a while
Uh, but now we're back on track (track)
Stoppin' in Rosewood
Pickin' up survivors
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
When you be ridin'
Lord, we're ridin' on the freedom train
Lord
If anybody asks you where I am
Uh, when they don't see me 'round
'Round here anymore
Tell 'em if they wanna find me
All they have to do is follow

Mm-mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm, mm-mm
To that land
Come on, stand by me, Lord
Stand by me, Lord
(We're ridin' on the freedom train)
Ridin'
We're ridin' on the freedom train
