Grab your ticket and your suitcase
Thunder's rolling down the tracks
You don't know where you're going
But you know you won't be back
An d darling, if you're weary
Lay your head upon my chest
We'll take what we can carry
And we'll leave the rest
Big wheels roll through fields
where sunlight streams
Meet me in a land of
hope and dreams
I will provide for you
And I'll stand by your side
You'll need a good companion now
For this part of the ride
Sleep be hind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Tomorrow there'll be sunshine
And all this darkness pas t
And the big wheels roll through
fields where sunlight streams,
meet me in a land of
hope and dreams.
This train carries saints and sinners,
Carries losers and winners in this train
Carries whores and gamblers this train
Carries lost souls, I said, this train
Dreams will not be thwarted
on this train
Faith will be rewarded, this train
Hear the steel wheels sing in this train
Bells of freedom ring
This train carries brokenhearted
This train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This train
Carries foes and kings
This train
All aboard our sinless train
Dreams will not be thwarted
On this train
Faith will be rewarded
This train
Hear the steel wheels singing
On this train
Bells of freedom ring
People get ready
I said people get ready
Come train, come on this train
Come on this train,
come on this train
People get ready, people get ready
Come on this train
Come on, let's drink
