One night Johnny sang the truth to me
On a northbound train from Nashville, Tennessee
Taught me all the letters, him alone
Saying freedom is where 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 rot in some jail all alone
Saying freedom is where you think it is
But there ain't no train to Stockholm
If I have to ride this train a hundred years
And all I have to drink is my own tears
I'll not kill for you or on my own
Singing freedom is where you think it is
But there ain't no train to Stockholm
Governments and politicians too
There's lots of people feel the way we do
A hundred million of us can't be wrong
Singing freedom is where you think it is
But there ain't no train to Stockholm
