THE TRAIN THAT RUNS ON TRACKS OF FIRE


WORDS & MUSIC: RAY
GOLDFINGER PUBLISHING, 1999


On black steel rails through mountains high
From out of nowhere she pulls in sight
Thick black smoke pouring from the stack
Waves to me…waves to me…waves to me…waves to me
Waves to me…waves to me…waves to me…waves to me
Waving…waving…waving…waving…waving…waving…waving…waving
She’s big and black…what a sight to see
Her destination is no mystery
The whistle blows in a somber tone
Calling me…calling me…calling me…calling me
Calling me…calling me…calling me…calling me
Calling…calling…calling…calling…calling…calling…calling…calling
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire

 

Passengers waiting in line
Looking back on their lives
Should have stayed on the righteous path
Too late to pray…late to pray…late to pray…late to pray
Late to pray…late to pray…late to pray…late to pray
LATE TO PRAY…LATE TO PRAY
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire

 

She’s big and black…what a sight to see
Her destination is no mystery
The whistle blows in a somber tone
Calling me…calling me…calling me…calling me
Calling me…calling me…calling me…calling me
Calling…calling…calling…calling…calling…calling…calling…calling
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire

 

Hear the lonesome whistle blow in the night
Calling all sinners to take a ride
Take a ride…take a ride…take a ride…take a ride
Take a ride…take a ride…take a ride…take a ride
TAKE A RIDE…TAKE A RIDE
On the train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire

 

On black steel rails through mountains high
From out of nowhere she pulls in sight
Thick black smoke pouring from the stack
Waves to me…waves to me…waves to me…waves to me
Waves to me…waves to me…waves to me…waves to me
Waving…waving…waving…waving…waving…waving…waving…waving
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train that runs on tracks of fire
The train…train…train…train…train…train that runs on tracks of fire
