We used to run along the railroad track

to hop on a slow moving train.

We would ride two blocks or so

And get off carefully to avoid pain. 

Sometimes the train would speed up

We all would try to jump clear.

But getting off a fast moving train

Was hard with no grass being near.

But there is another moving train

I want to bring to your mind.

This train is bound for glory land

Don’t want to leave you behind.

I’m urging every one down here

To look to the Lord above.

Hop on the train bound for glory

Headed for the land of love.

You don’t need a ticket to ride

You just get right with the Lord

Repent of all your sinfulness

Then you’re ready to hop on board
