Lyrics
Freedom Train -
Tim Maggart, Jon D'Agostino Shorehitsmusic@aol.com
Her whistle was blowin' in '47
A vision given to Harry Truman
And grandpa says she revived our nation's pride
She was chugging diesel in the age of steam
A symbol of our liberty
Yeah You could step inside and read the Bill of Rights
And they gave her the name
Freedom Train
She was bright white, red and blue stripes
As American as a line drive
Tracking treasures of freedom cross' the U.S.A.
Freedom Train
These days we're chained to our televisions
Headline stories of politicians
Preaching that our great country's come undone
Wish I could teach them bout' her glory
Spread the word, tell all the stories
Of the ride that unified this land I love
And the history made, on the Freedom Train
Chorus
See the little boy running by her side
While the steel wheels screech and the doors swing wide
Climb aboard and hear that whistle's song
Remember what made this country strong
Chorus
They say that history, will repeat,
It's time for you and me to get back
Back on the train,
Back on the Freedom Train
