lyrics
HELL BOUND TRAIN
By Tom Gray, Gray Matter Publishing (BMI)
My daddy told me when I was just a kid,
Son, do like I tell you, don't do like I did.
I know you'll never listen but I'll give it to you straight.
You'll never know what hit you till it's way too late.
I know it calls to you so sweetly,
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely.
Cry if you want to but you'll cry in vain.
You'll never get to heaven on a hell bound train.
Never get to heaven on a hell bound train.
I met a girl in Memphis. We were both just twenty-one.
We hit the road together, looking for some fun.
Aces in Atlanta won me a forty-four.
I got drunk in Florida and tried to rob a liquor store.
I know it calls to you so sweetly,
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely.
Cry if you want to but you'll cry in vain.
You'll never get to heaven on a hell bound train.
Never get to heaven on a hell bound train.
When they finally let me out of FSP
She was living in Ocala with a son I'd never seen.
We sat a while and didn't speak and then I told him, son,
You do like I tell you, don't do like I done.
I know it calls to you so sweetly,
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely.
Cry if you want to but you'll cry in vain.
You'll never get to heaven on a hell bound train.
Never get to heaven on a hell bound train.
No, you'll never to heaven on a hell bound train.
