Mark Erelli - The Devil's Train lyrics

The devil's train is long and black It rides on rails of tears It's headed for destruction now With a drunken engineer Oh see the greatness of the crowd That waits beside the tracks They're leaving on that devil's train And never coming back CHORUS Oh Lord please stop that devil's train Before it is too late And teach them how to bow their heads Before they seal their fate The devil's train will take you to A land of groans and pain You'll spend your days in sorrow if You ride that devil's train Oh listen to that whistle scream Like echoes from the blue The throttle's wide and spouting steam She's on her way to doom (CHORUS) The devil's train is long and black It's beautiful to see It offers you temptation but It brings you misery So come and ride that glorious train Where happiness is free It's on its way to heaven now To spend eternity (CHORUS)
