Freedom train is coming - all around the world
talking 'bout freedom - yeah bring it on

drop what you're doing and climb on board
all it costs you is a song

life on the outside
life on the outside

don't worry 'bout the weather - it's all in your head
we're all here for such a short time
we got to learn to live together or we might as well be dead
loosen up, baby and have a good time

(chorus)

leave behind your baggage - check your head, check your head
life on the outside
freedom train is leaving - be on it, be on it
life on the outside

"inside" is so boring - the old man is snoring
but the young man is dying to live
you won't want to go back - once you're rollin' down the track

can't get caught up in what they want you to be
be who you are - that is the message
beautiful world in dissonant harmony
be who you are - that is the message
leave behind your baggage - check your head, check your head
freedom train is leaving - be on it, be on it
life on the outside

(chorus)
