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 skies
You can find redemption
staring back
into your eyes
There is protection
and there's peace
the same
burnin' your ticket
for that long black train
'Cause there's victory
in the Lord I say
victory 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 waitin'
on your heart to say
"Let me ride
on that
long black train"
But you know there's
victory in the Lord I say
victory 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
makin' everybody stare
but it's only destination
is the middle
of nowhere
But you know there's
victory in the Lord I say
victory 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-drivin'
in that long black
train
