Lyrics
People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel comin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
People get ready, get ready
Train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among the love the most
Get ready, get ready
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the kingdom's throne
Everyone get ready, go to train to Jordan
It's coming, baby
I wanna be the one, the one to stay home
No way, I'd like to get my people on the way
Put the wheels up, steer the motor train
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm saying hey
People get ready, Jordan train is coming
And if you listen good, you hear the tea is humming
Ain't no room for you if you've been committing sin
You hurt all mankind and your chances slimmed
Faith is your only key, open the doors, let me in
From the Father, there is no escaping
Leave out the drama, make the bass and rhythm
There's a train, there's a train, there's a train comin' people, get on board
There's a train, there's a train comin', people, get on board
People get ready, here's a train a-comin'
Don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the tea is a-comin'
Don't need no ticket, you just stand alone
There's a train, there's a train comin', people, get on board
There's a train, there's a train comin', people, get on board
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul, yeah
Have pity on those whose chances broken now
There ain't no hiding place from the kingdom's throne, yeah
Well, if you listen good, you can hear that train
Choo-choo, choo-choo, a-comin' down the valley
With the easy lane, choo-choo, choo-choo
I tell you, if you listen good, oh, you can hear that train
To the valley or down to the lane
If you listen good, oh, you can hear that train
Choo-choo, choo-choo, now, If you listen good, oh, you can hear that train
Comin' down the valley
Or down to the lane, when the storm, stormy weather
Whizzes in like rain, well, if you listen good
You get this train to your brain
If you listen good, oh, you can hear that train
Choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-choo
If you listen good, oh, you can hear that train
Choo-choo for anyone who gets into the game
If you listen well the stories they tell
