No train to Stockholm
One night Johnny sang the truth for me
on an unknown bound train from Tennessee
taught me all the letters in alone
singing "freedom is what 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 lie in some jail all alone
singing "freedom is what you think it is,
but there ain't no train to Stockholm"
if I had to ride this train a hundred years
and all I had to drink is my own tears
I wouldn't kill for you or on my own
singing "freedom is what 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 millions of us can't be wrong
singing "freedom is what you think it is,
but there ain't no train to Stockholm".
(Versão de Erlend Øye no álbum de homenagem a Lee Hazlewood,"Total Lee!".
Canção sobre a guerra no Vietname, numa altura em que Lee vivia em Estocolmo.
Curiosidade: Lee cantava "Freedom is where you think it is" e não "Freedom is what you think it is".)
