*There ain't no train to heaven,
...no miracles, no deal,
There ain't no train to heaven,
...that dream it ain't real.*
*Man there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
but when I get there I'll be still.*
Working all these days,
and working all these nights.
All I do is work,
Man that-life-ain't-right!
When I was little,
they said I'd be rich.
Here I am today,
digging one more ******* ditch!
Breaking back and tough,
I'm lost in a bottle...
I'm finally getting outta here, hittin' gas; gone full-throttle!
*Cause there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
but when I get there I'll be still.*
*Woo- there ain't no train to heaven,
...no miracles, no deal,
There ain't no train to heaven,
...that dream it ain't real.*
*Man there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
but when I get there I'll be still.*
Money is a trap,
without it you get stuck.
All I do is work,
looking for that decent buck.
Pocketing a little here,
no, not really, just enough.
Working harder every day,
man this life is rough.
Broken down, feeling bad,
and I'm lost in a bottle...
I'm finally getting outta here, hittin' gas; gone full-throttle!
*There ain't no train to heaven,
...no miracles, no deal,
There ain't no train to heaven,
...that dream it ain't real.*
*Man there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
...there ain't no train to heaven,
but when I get there I'll be still.*
