Ghost Train

I had a vision plain and true
Saw something that few people do
And Lord God I think 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
