Backwoods Train

Till He comes

 

Wanna get on that backwoods plain

Where there’s never a need for rain

God’s sweet spirit makes everything grow

You can’t die and you never grow old

And there’s no such thing as pain

Wanna get on that backwoods plain

Where there’s never a need for rain

God’s sweet spirit makes everything grow

You can’t die and you never grow old

And there’s no such thing as pain

 

My only wish, my sole desire

Is that we might put out the fire

Stop the hating and the lies

Love each other, do what’s right

Wanna ride on that backwoods train

Where everything stays the same

Where the rivers never run dry

And there’s never a tear in your eye

And everyone knows your name

 

Wanna ride on that backwoods road

Where there’s never a heavy load

There’s no need for a knife or a gun

Everybody loves everyone

‘Cos everybody knows the Lord
