Long Black Train Lyrics - American Idol

There's a long black train comin' down the line 

Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin' 

Rails of sin, only evil remains 

Watch out, brother, for that long black train 

Look to the Heavens, you can look to the sky 

You can find redemption staring back into your eyes 

There is protection and there's peace the same 

Burnin' your ticket for that long black train 

'Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say 

Victory in the Lord 

Cling to the Father and His Holy name 

And don't go ridin' on that long black train 

There's an engineer on that long black train 

Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain 

He's just a-waitin' on your heart to say 

"Let me ride on that long black train" 

But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say 

Victory in the Lord 

Cling to the Father and His Holy name 

And don't go ridin' on that long black train 

Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away 

It sounds so good but I must stay away 

That train is a beauty makin' everybody stare 

But its only destination is the middle of nowhere 

But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say 

Victory in the Lord 

Cling to the Father and His Holy name 

And don't go ridin' on that long black train 

I said cling to the Father and His Holy name 

And don't go ridin' on that long black train 

Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train 

That devil's drivin' that long black train
