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]
