Down There by the Train
There's a place I know where the train goes slowWhere the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lambThere's a river by the trestle down by sinner's groveDown where the willow and the dogwood grow
You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bellFrom the halls of heaven to the gates of hellAnd there's room for the forsaken if you're there on timeYou'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimesIf you're down there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there where the train goes slow
There's a golden moon that shines up through the mistAnd I know that your name can be on that listThere's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a toothI saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes BoothHe was down there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainHe was down there where the train goes slow
If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faithI know you can be cared for and I know you can be safeAnd all the shamefuls and all of the whoresAnd even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord Is down there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there where the train goes slow
Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayerNever given of myself, never truly caredI've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raisingCain I've taken the low road and if you've done the sameMeet me down there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there where the train goes slow
Meet me down there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there by the trainDown there where the train goes slow
