Lyrics

This ain't the story of Casey Jones
Still, you take your chances, you roll them bones
Been ridin' this train all night long
Passing the bottle, singing this song

This train is gonna roll
It might be Hell bound, it might be sanctified, gonna save your soul
Them good old boys in the boxcar spent their time down in the hole
This train is gonna roll

Can't afford to ride in no sleeper car
It takes a long time for to go so far
Lay my head down and dream sweet dreams
Waking up now to the sound of those screams

This train is gonna roll
It might be Hell bound, it might be sanctified, gonna save your soul
Them good old boys in the boxcar spent their time down in the hole
This train is gonna roll

When I hear that lonesome whistle going by
You know I never hang my head and cry
You may not like the ride but as for me
When I'm on board, Lord I feel so free

This train is gonna roll
It might be Hell bound, it might be sanctified, maybe save your soul
Them good old boys in the boxcar spent their time down in the hole
This train is gonna roll
