Long Black Train

by Josh Turner

on Long Black Train (2003)

There's a long black train coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'
Rails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long black train

Look to the heavens you can look to the sky
You can find redemption staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burning your ticket for that long black train

Cause there's vict'ry in the Lord, I say
Vict'ry in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train

There's an engineer on that long black train
Making you wonder if the ride is worth the pain
He's just a waiting on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train

But you know there's vict'ry in the Lord, I say
Vict'ry in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train

Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good but I must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere

But you know there's vict'ry in the Lord, I say
Vict'ry in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train

I said, cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
Yeah watch out brother for that long black train
That devil's a-driving that long black train
