Ghost Train -

I had a vision plain and true

Saw something that few people do

And Lord God I’ve seen enough

I had a vision true and plain

That cracked broken rusty ghost train

That once you’re on you can’t get off

I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes

I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes

This train, this train, this train, this train

Old iron bearing down like wind

It’s built by ruin and run on sin

It had no start it has no end

Every face it looks the same

No one can tell from where they came

Nobody knows what’s round the bend

I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes

Looking down from the train through those busted window panes

They were calling out my name, «Boy, you’re next.»

This train, this train, this train, this train

This train ain’t bound for glory, and I don’t want to go no no no

Lord have mercy let that ghost train pass me

Curse its rails to the weeds and the rust

Tell me once again that old story

Cure the pride and cure the flesh and cure the lust

I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes, I saw their eyes

Captured souls that test the ground, across the line, were never found

They were reaching out their hands from the wrecks

This train, this train, this train, this train

This train ain’t bound for glory, and I don’t want to go no no no

This train ain’t bound for glory, and I don’t want to go no no no

This train ain’t bound for glory, and I don’t want to go no no no

This train ain’t bound for glory, and I don’t want to go no no no

Come aboard the train, it’ll be okay

Come aboard the train, it’ll be okay

This train ain’t bound for glory, and I don’t want to go no no no
