Woody Guthrie Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Woody Guthrie knew
So now I do too
And he's got me tellin' you
Ain't nothing as it seems
Sometimes it's hard to swim upstream
And freedom isn't free
If you've ever been a deportee
Or you ain't got the do-re-mi
If you work all day with your own two hands
Paying someone else's dues
Then I guess you know it too
This land's for me and you
A free ride on a freight train
Watching the world go by
Seeing the countryside
Looking in the people's eyes
Singing it line by line...
Woody Guthrie knew
So now I do too
Now he's got me tellin' you
Ain't nothing as it seems
Sometimes it's hard to swim upstream
And freedom isn't free
