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)
