Hell Bound Train
My daddy told me when I was just a kid
Son, do like I tell you, don't do like I did
I know you'll never listen, but I'll give it to you straight
You'll never know what hit you 'til it's way too late
I know it calls to you so sweetly
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely
Cry if you want to, but you'll cry in vain
You'll never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
I met a girl in Memphis, we were both just 21
Hit the road together, looking for some fun
Aces in Atlanta won me a 44
I got drunk in Florida and tried to rob a liquor store
I know it calls to you so sweetly
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely
Cry if you want to, but you'll cry in vain
You'll never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
When they finally let me out of FSP
She was living in Ocala with a son I'd never seen
We sat a while and didn't speak and then I told him, son
You do like I tell you, don't do like I done
I know it calls to you so sweetly
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely
Cry if you want to, but you'll cry in vain
You'll never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
No, you'll never to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Son, do like I tell you, don't do like I did
I know you'll never listen, but I'll give it to you straight
You'll never know what hit you 'til it's way too late
I know it calls to you so sweetly
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely
Cry if you want to, but you'll cry in vain
You'll never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
I met a girl in Memphis, we were both just 21
Hit the road together, looking for some fun
Aces in Atlanta won me a 44
I got drunk in Florida and tried to rob a liquor store
I know it calls to you so sweetly
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely
Cry if you want to, but you'll cry in vain
You'll never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
When they finally let me out of FSP
She was living in Ocala with a son I'd never seen
We sat a while and didn't speak and then I told him, son
You do like I tell you, don't do like I done
I know it calls to you so sweetly
But, oh, it'll mess you up completely
Cry if you want to, but you'll cry in vain
You'll never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
Never get to Heaven on a Hell bound train
No, you'll never to Heaven on a Hell bound train
