Eric Woolfson - Train to Freedom lyrics

rate me

The railroad bars was makin' lots of money

Makin' lots of money in the railroad town

The railroad bars was feelin' kinda funny

Something kept coming 'round and goin' around

'Cause if the train don't run there'll be some trouble

Gonna be some trouble if the train don't run

And if the train don't come, it'd be a pity

They'd have to call Baltimore "Sunset City"

We're on the train to freedom

All the way to freedom

On our way home to freedom

We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there

We're on the train to freedom

Rollin' on to freedom

Comin' home to freedom

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday, someday

The engineer said gotta keep the wheels turnin'

Keep the fire burnin' like an engineer should

The engineer tried to keep the motor runnin'

Just a steamin' and a shovellin' water and wood

But if the creek run dry, where'd you get the water?

If the trees don't grow, where'd you get the wood?

And if the fish don't bite, how you gonna feed 'em?

It might be time to move along and that's no good

We're on the train to freedom

All the way to freedom

On our way home to freedom

We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there

We're on the train to freedom

Rollin' on to freedom

Comin' home to freedom

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday, someday

Good-time Joe was havin' quite a party

Havin' quite a party with a good-time crowd

Good-time Joe was drinkin' lots of whiskey

Lots and lots of whiskey when the news got out

And then the railroad train stopped runnin'

The creek run dry and the trees don't grow

But when the booze ran out, he got a problem

Well how's he gonna call himself Good-time Joe?

We're on the train to freedom

All the way to freedom

On our way home to freedom

We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there

(Hallelujah)

We're on the train to freedom

(Hallelujah)

Rollin' on to freedom

(Hallelujah)

Comin' home to freedom

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday, someday

The undertaker said what a happy day this is

(Hallelujah)

We'll its really good for business if they whole town's dead!

(Hallelujah)

We're on the train to freedom

(Hallelujah)

All the way to freedom

(Hallelujah)

On our way home to freedom

We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there

(Hallelujah)

We're on the train to freedom

(Hallelujah)

Rollin' on to freedom

(Hallelujah)

Comin' home to freedom

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday, someday, someday, someday...

Hallelujah, someday, hallelujah, someday...

On the train to freedom!
