The Devil's Train Lyrics - Mark Erelli

The Devil's train is long and black 

And it rides on rails of tears 

And it's headed for destruction now 

With a drunken engineer 

Oh, see the greatness of the crowd 

That waits beside the tracks 

They're leaving on that Devil's train 

And never coming back 

Oh Lord, please stop that Devil's train 

Before it is too late 

And teach them how to bow their heads 

Before they seal their fate 

The Devil's train will take you to 

A land of groans and pains 

You'll spend your days in sorrow 

If you ride that Devil's train 

Oh, listen to that whistle scream 

Like echoes from the blue 

The throttle's wide and spouting steam 

She's on her way to doom 

Oh Lord, please stop that Devil's train 

Before it is too late 

And teach them how to bow their heads 

Before they seal their fate 

The Devil's train is long and black 

And it's beautiful to see 

It offers you temptation 

But it brings you misery 

So come and ride that glorious train 

Where happiness is free 

It's on its way to Heaven now 

To spend eternity 

Oh Lord, please stop that Devil's train 

Before it is too late 

And teach them how to bow their heads 

Before they seal their fate 

Oh Lord, please stop that Devil's train 

Before it is too late 

And teach them how to bow their heads 

Before they seal their fate
