There's a place I know where the train goes slow |
|
Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb |
|
There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove |
|
Down where the willow and the dogwood grow |
|
|
|
You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell |
|
From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell |
|
And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time |
|
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes |
|
If you're down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there where the train goes slow |
|
|
|
There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist |
|
And I know that your name can be on that list |
|
There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth |
|
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth |
|
He was down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
He was down there where the train goes slow |
|
|
|
If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith |
|
I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe |
|
And all the shamefuls and all of the whores |
|
And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord |
|
Is down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there where the train goes slow |
|
|
|
Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer |
|
Never given of myself, never truly cared |
|
I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain |
|
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same |
|
Meet me down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there where the train goes slow |
|
|
|
Meet me down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there by the train |
|
Down there where the train goes slow |
