Theres an old black train acomin
Scraping long the iron
You dont need no ticket, boys
Itll take you when its time

Come on now, young strangers
Werent you someones son?
Howd you find this depot
cause it aint where you belong

You will pass a graveyard
Stones worn by the years
The trainll stop a minute
But dont let it leave you here

The coachman is my brother
The engineers my friend
Theyll get you more acquainted
by the time you reach the end

This journey is a long one
Itll take you all around
Life rushing by your window
Before it lays you down

Now, where this old trains going
You cant come back from
You can leave your baggage here
Because well need it when youre gone
