White Train Lyrics by The dB’s

Like This

1984

Well I thought I heard the devil
He was callin' me by name
And like a fool I answered, like a fool I came

But what he had to offer me
Was the same old played out stuff
So I shook my head and I said
No thanks, I believe I've had enough

Well, the white train takin' me to heaven
White train shiny like a sword
White train is the only good train
Everybody get on board

Well the white train is a diesel
Pullin' sixteen cars behind
And it stops at every station
For those who wanna ride

Yeah, the conductor he is a good man
And the engineer is a saint
And the porters all have the time of day
And me I can't complain

Well, the white train takin' me to heaven
White train shiny like a sword
White train is the only good train
Everybody get on board

Well there's always people gettin' on
And gettin' off and gettin' on
And changin' seats and washin' up
Before they know the train is gone
Well there's always people gettin' on
And gettin' off and gettin' on
And changin' seats and washin' up
Before they know it's gone
Before they know it's long gone

Well I thought I saw the devil
By the siding of the track
And he shook his fist as the train went past
But I never did look back

Well, the white train takin' me to heaven
White train shiny like a sword
White train is the only good train
Everybody get on board

Well I saw my true love
She was wavin' me goodbye
There were teardrops at the station
But I'll see her bye and bye
