There's a long black train,
Comin' down the line,
Feedin' off the souls that are lost and cryin',
Rails of sin, only evil remains
Watch out brother for that Long Black Train
Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's Peace the same,
burnin' your ticket for that Long Black Train
'Cause there's vict'ry in the Lord I say,
Vict'ry in the lord,
Cling to the Father and His holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train
There's an engineer on that Long Black Train,
Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain,
He's just a waiting on your heart to say
Let me ride on that Long Black Train,
But you know there's vict'ry in the Lord I say,
Vict'ry in the Lord,
Cling to the Father and His holy name,
And dont go ridin' on that Long Black Train
Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away,
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty, makin' everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere,
But you know theres vict'ry in the Lord I say,
Vict'ry in the Lord,
Cling to the Father and His holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train
I said cling to the Father and His holy name
And dont go ridin' on that long black train
Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train
That Devil's a drivin' that long black train.
This song is about how during life we are often tempted by things that will lead us astray from the path that the Lord would want us to take. The song Long Black Train is sung by Josh Turner. During this song he mentions “cling to the Father and His Holy name and don’t go riding on that long black train”. He wrote this song with an image in his head of a long black train going through the middle of nowhere with people standing out to the sides of the track. He used the image of the black train to describe sin and the decision people have to make is about whether or not to go riding on this train. The Lord wants us to stay away from the sins of the world and this song does a good job of describing how people are often tempted and are lead astray from the “right” path.
