here am i talking at the sky thinking about it all i sometimes wonder at the way my life has gone hey boy you stop that running i heard it from a friend just today but as he spoke my heart was miles away so get that old train rolling come on mister engineer need a freedom song to call my own take me on away from here met a girl in california she asked me if i would stay and if i could for anyone you know it babe but soon i got that same old feeling and i tried to make some sense of it all well baby i ve been moving far too long so get that old train rolling honey wipe away your tears got a freedom song to call my own take me on away from here hearing that whistle blowing reminds me of the good old days back on the road where i belong again again something to live for the freedom i need got to keep the dream alive now got to keep a piece of me so get that old train rolling head it on away from here back on the road where i belong honey wipe away your tears hearing that old whistle blowing reminds me of a brand new day a freedom song for everyone back on the road to stay give me a freedom song
