One night Johnny sang the truth to me |
|
on an unknown bound train from Tennessee. |
|
Taught me all the letters in alone |
|
Singing freedom is what you think it is, |
|
but there ain't no train to Stockholm. |
|
Received your invitation to the war. |
|
I sent it back, so please don't send no more. |
|
I'd rather lie in some jail all alone. |
|
Singing freedom is what you think it is, |
|
but there ain't no train to Stockholm. |
|
If I had to ride this train a hundred years |
|
and all I had to drink is my own tears, |
|
I wouldn't kill for you or on my own. |
|
Singing freedom is what you think it is, |
|
but there ain't no train to Stockholm. |
|
Governements and politicians, too. |
|
There's lots of people feel the way we do. |
|
A hundred millions of us can't be wrong. |
|
Singing freedom is what you think it is, |
|
but there ain't no train to Stockholm. (3 times) |
