Verse 1:
I've worked hard
and I'm ready for a long vacation
got some money in my pocket
and I'm going down to the station
saw a poster on a wall
and the place looked really nice
a man with a beard said
"follow me I'll take you to paradise"

Bridge:
If you want to come with me there's room
there are no legal limits
there's always room for one more soul
so why not come and get it

Chorus:
I want to ride this train to Gloryland
So why don't you come up here and join the band?

Verse 2:
Met the man with the beard
halfway through Kentucky
He walked with me and he talked with me
some people say I'm lucky
for that day the man I met payed the full price
now I ride the train for free
the train to paradise
