Backstory:
I was watching a TV show about trains in Europe and began thinking about how train travel might seem outmoded but is still viable transportation. That led to a lyric using a train as imagery for the relevance of the gospel message. I think the song captures the idea with a fun and driving rhythm.
Lyrics:
Train
CHORUS
Rumblin’ on,
Clacking track
Miles on miles
Won’t turn back
Train, train, train
Take me home
VS 1
Some folks say it’s worn and old
Far too noisy, just for show
Glad I got on long ago
I am goin’ where it goes
CHORUS
VS 2
There’s a seat for you today
Jesus says no need to wait
He’s already paid your way
All aboard now—don’t delay
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I can’t see around the next bend
But I’m bound for heaven
Jesus said no need to worry
He is in the journey
Come on, come on board
Come on, come on board
CHORUS
