Well that gospel train is a' comin' 
Comin' right down the track 
That gospel train is a' comin' 
Comin' right down the track 
And when that train leaves the station 
I can tell you right now it's never comin' back 

You may think your train ain't a' comin' 
'Till at least a quarter past nine, 
You may think your train ain't a' comin' 
'Till at least a quarter past nine, 
But by the time you reach the platform 
You'll find out you've been left behind 

Well the train used to rule this country 
It used to be the only way to go 
But we've left the engineer behind these days 
We think we've found a better way to go 
But on that day whether the track's laid 
He'll be comin' over ice and snow 

Well that gospel train is a' comin' 
Comin' right down the track 
That gospel train is a' comin' 
Comin' right down the track 
And when that train leaves the station 
I can tell you right now it's never comin' back 

They said it moves too slow, it moves too slow 
They said it moves too slow, it moves too slow 
Oh... what do they know?
