Rhiannon Giddens - Freedom Highway Lyrics

Rhiannon Giddens Lyrics

"Freedom Highway"
(originally by The Staple Singers)

March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
Made up my mind that I won't turn around
Made up my mind that I won't turn around

There is just one thing
I can't understand, my friend
Why some folks think freedom
Is not designed for all men

There are so many people
Living their lives perplexed
Wonderin' in their minds
What's gonna happen next?
That's why we're gonna

March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
Made up my mind that I won't turn around
Made up my mind that I won't turn around

Found dead people in the forest
Tallahatchie River and lakes
The whole world is wonderin'
What's wrong with the United States?

Yes, we want peace
If it can be found
We're marching freedom highway
And we're not gonna turn around

That's why we're gonna
March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
Made up my mind
March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day, yeah yeah yeah
March down freedom highway, oh yeah
Marchin' each and every day
Made up my mind that I won't turn around
Made up my mind that I won't turn around
That I won't turn around
