There's a place I know where the train goes slow, where the sinner can be washed in the
blood of the lamb.
There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove, down where the willow and the dogwood
grow.
You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell from the halls of heaven to the gates
of hell, and there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time.
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes if you're down there by the
train, down there by the train, down there by the train, down there by the train, down
there where the train goes slow.
There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist, and I know that your name can be
on that list.
There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth.
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth.
He was down there by the train, down there by the train, down there by the train, down
there by the train, he was down there where the train goes slow.
If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith, I know you can be cared for
and I know you can be safe.
And all the shamefuls and all of the whores and even the soldier who pierced the side
of the Lord is down there by the train, down there by the train, down there by the train,
down there by the train, down there where the train goes slow.
Well I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer.
I've never given of myself, never truly cared.
I've left the ones who love me and I'm still raising cain.
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same, meet me down there by the train.
Down there by the train, down there by the train, down there by the train, down there
where the train goes slow.
Meet me down there by the train, down there by the train, down there by the train, down
there by the train, down there where the train goes slow.
