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
