A Train Called Purgatory

I'm on a train called purgatory And it's screaming down the rails It's not a pretty story But it's all I've got to tell The conductor's name is Louie He got a goatee and the tail He punches my ticket, and he hands it back to me And he says next stop is hell Next stop is hell I never saw no contract I never signed no dody line So can somebody tell me Why I'm holding down this line I'm rolling like a rocket I'm running out of time Only one heart that can stop it The one that once loved mine Only one heart that can stop it Lord can you help me reach her Cause no one else but she Can throw the switch, and turn this train Please send her back to me Lucifer is laughing The engine's blowing fire Lord have mercy on my soul This train is my funeral pyre I guess I've been a dead man Ever since that day My true love said goodbye to me And turned and walked away The day I bought my ticket I payed with the broken heart I boarded the express to hell You can't stop it once it starts You can't stop it once it starts I'm sitting at the window And I'm praying all I've got Before we reach the station lord Please take your best shot Please get me in your crosses And fire off a round And he raises my soul forever Don't let Satan take me down Don't let Satan take me down I always thought this train Was suppose to go uphill Not down Not down But in this life I've learned One thing What I think doesn't count It just don't count I'm on a train called purgatory And the next stop off is hell It ain't a pretty story But it's all I've got to tell I'm on a train called purgatory And the next stop off is hell It ain't a pretty story But it's all I've got to tell It ain't a pretty story But it's all I've got to tell It ain't a pretty story
