(With June Carter Cash)
We're gonna ride the Bible train now
No, some won't ride
But we're gonna get on the Bible train
Some ride but not all the way
The Bible train is in the yard now
And it's waiting
And oh, it looks so good
But you might get bored and impatient waiting
Like those two good brothers over there
They passed around the bottle in the car
Before they got on the train
Just wanna take one more for the road
Then, that leads to something else
Well, they ain't on the train no more
And maybe nine or ten got off with them
There's a sister in the church
And she says to her friend
"Your husband works at night
And so does mine
Why don't we just get together sometime
When they're gone
Go downtown and find us some action"
Well, then, they gotta get off the Bible train
And then another man
He's sitting over there looking at a woman in the corner
And he's gives her that eye, you know
And they meet later, secretly
So they gotta get off
This train's got a rule against adultery
And while all this is happening
The train is getting ready to go
But there's a lot more to get off for different reasons
Just before the train pulls out
But listen, it's starting to move now
Listen to it
Here we go
As it leaves
The man on the caboose
With a long white beard says
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is bound for glory
Nobody ride it but the righteous and the holy
This train is bound for glory, this train
This train is a free train, this train
This train is a free train, this train
This train is a free train
Everybody rides in Jesus' name
This train is a free train, this train
This train, it don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars
No false pretenders and no backbiters
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train, this train
This train is a clean train
Everybody rides it in Jesus' name
This train is a clean train, this train
Do you want to ride it, children
This holy train?
Do you want to ride it, children
This righteous train?
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board this holy train
Get on board
Get on board
Get on board
This holy train
