Soul HitchHiker - Freedom Road

When the world's on fire and your burden
Has taken on a mind of its own
Cool your skin in the river
And follow on down Freedom Road

When I was a child I met a ragged man
Who kept his money in a pocket full of holes
Said you can travel light, child, if you travel right
Set your feet always on Freedom Road

Freedom Road - its stones they won't cut your feet
Freedom Road - its pavement won't blister in the heat
Freedom Road - takes you on in to the Promised Land
Freedom Road - carry me home

Well, the wild roses fill up your senses
And a loving sun warms your tender skin
Farmers' crops in the fields show a bountiful yield
'Cause they grow alongside Freedom Road

There's a tire swing in a sturdy oak tree
Beside a farmhouse that needs a coat of paint
The kitchen door stands forever open
To the travelers who find Freedom Road

Freedom Road - its stones they won't cut your feet
Freedom Road - its pavement won't blister in the heat
Freedom Road - takes you on in to the Promised Land
Freedom Road - carry me home

When the sun lays down in a copper sky
And you know you're at a journey's end
Tell that brakeman you ain't riding no further on his line
Jump that train as it crosses Freedom Road

Freedom Road - its stones they won't cut your feet
Freedom Road - its pavement won't blister in the heat
Freedom Road - takes you on in to the Promised Land
Freedom Road - carry me home
