Runaway Freedom Train Lyrics

Runaway freedom train
All the way from Cairo to Capetown
Runaway freedom train
In spite of the pain your money can buy

Runaway freedom train
All the way from Cairo to Capetown
Runaway freedom train
In spite of the pain your money can buy

No matter how hard you try to break this motion
It’s a one-way ticket, only one destination
You can’t break the wheels of history

So get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks

Runaway freedom train
All the way from Cairo to Capetown
Runaway freedom train
In spite of the pain your money can buy

Runaway freedom train
All the way from Cairo to Capetown
Runaway freedom train
In spite of the pain your money can buy

No matter how hard you try to break this motion
You can’t stop the freedom train
You can’t stop the wheels of history

So get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train

Runaway freedom train
All the way from Cairo to Capetown
Runaway freedom train
In spite of the pain your money can buy

Runaway freedom train
All the way from Cairo to Capetown
Runaway freedom train
In spite of the pain your money can buy

No matter how hard you try to break this motion
It’s a one-way ticket, only one destination
You can’t break the wheels of history

So get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks, get up the tracks
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks, get up the tracks

Runaway freedom train
Runaway freedom train
Runaway freedom train
Runaway freedom train

Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up the tracks of the freedom train
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up the tracks of the freedom train

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
