Ghost Train To Nowhere

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Derri Daugherty and Gene Eugene] It's a sinner's dream when the whistle screams Calling, "All aboard, you fools and hard-hearted" Ever circling back on a one way track They pull into the station where they started Some arriving when they think they've just departed [Pre-Chorus: Terry Scott Taylor] But they're not going anywhere Lost souls when they've landed there Choose to stay like prisoners unguarded All hope is abandoned here 'cause they know the engineer [Chorus] Ghost train (Ghost train) To nowhere [Verse 2: Michael Roe] They pass a thousand concrete pillars and never see a single tree Gray-sky eyes begging for a little sleep Down the same dark tunnels past the same empty streets The cigarette smoke chokes, the coffee's weak And they cry, "Ohhhh" [Verse 2: Terry Scott Taylor and Derri Daugherty] It's a funeral pyre belching smoke and fire All luxuries, amenities discarded It circles back on a one way track Pulling into the station where where it started [Chorus] Ghost train (Ghost train) To nowhere [Verse 3: Gene Eugene] They search eternal winter landscapes for images of loved ones and home Though every seat and aisle is crowded, they have never felt so all alone While suffering is assured, and silence is preferred Most everybody weeps though they don't speak a word They just cry, "Ohhhh" Ohhhh [Verse 1: Michael Roe and Terry Scott Taylor] It's a sinner's dream when the whistle screams Calling, "All aboard, you fools and hard-hearted" Ever circling back on a one way track They pull into the station where they started Some arriving when they think they've just departed [Pre-Chorus: Gene Eugene and Derri Daugherty] But they're not going anywhere Lost souls when they've landed there choose to stay like prisoners unguarded All hope is abandoned here 'cause they know the engineer [Chorus] Ghost train (Ghost train) To nowhere Ghost train (Ghost train) To nowhere [Outro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh
