Ridin'

Train’s in the station

Won’t be stoppin’ long

Won’t be comin’ back this way

Comin’ back this way again, awe

Don’t miss this chance

To face an’ understand the past

‘Cause the truth will set you free, my friend, Lord, Lord

The truth will set you free, my friend

Oh, they're ridin' on the Freedom Train

Ridin’ on to Memphis

Where they killed the king, remember that?

Derailed for a while

Ha, but now we’re back on track, Lord, Lord

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 ask you

Where I am

Ha, 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 an’ get onboard

Get onboard

When you be ridin’

Ridin’ on the Freedom Train

Come on stand by me, y'all

Just stoppin’ in Rosewood

Pickin’ up survivors

Stoppin’ in Selma

Lord, Montgomery, too

Stoppin’ in Gainesville, mhm

Stoppin’ in Money, Mississippi

Thinkin’ ‘bout Emmett Till

Y’all remember Emmett Till

When you be ridin’

Ridin’ on the Freedom Train

When you be ridin’

Ridin’ on the Freedom Train

Come, go with me, to that land

Come on, stand by me, Lord

Mhm, mhm, mmm

To that land

Come on, stand by me, Lord

Stand by me, Lord

And we're ridin’ on the Freedom Train

Ridin'

We ridin’ on the Freedom Train
