Ive worked hard
And Im ready for a long vacation
Got some money in my pocket
And Im 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
Ill take you to paradise"
If you want to come with me theres room
There are no legal limits
Theres always room for one more soul
So why not come and get it
I want to ride this train to gloryland
So why dont you come up here
And join the band?
Met the man with the beard
Halfway through kentucky
He walked with me and he talked with me
Some people say Im lucky
For that day the man I met payed the full price
Now I ride the train for free
The train to paradise
