Eric Woolfson - Train To Freedom lyrics

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!
