Through this Railroad Earth, for whatever its worth
Singing songs and staying high
And you know I'll be where my heart beats free
And my thoughts are free to fly
Oh Mama please don't make me lie
I need my freedom
I need my open sky
And your socks and shirt, on your bed of dirt
With the midnight moon up high
And you know I've been where the midnight wind
Makes your soul and spirit cry
Oh Mama please don't ask me why
I need my freedom
I need my open sky
Through this Railroad Earth for, whatever its worth
Getting long and getting by
And you know I miss every single kiss
As the years go rolling by
Oh Mama ain't it good to be alive
Where your mountain top and feeling high
Oh Mama ain't it good to be alive
While your down the road and free to ride
Oh Mama please don't make me lie
