Pat Travers - Hellbound Train lyrics

rate me

Just a young boy, a dark northern town

But I knew what I wanted was nowhere to be found

And every night at the top of the wretch

The rail tracks grumbled and they roared pass the bridge

Silver nightmare that streaks through the night

Toward that distant __________(?)

Some say its final stop is hard as can be

Still I wanna ride that hellbound train

The paper showed the faces and names

Of the lucky ones that rode that train to fortune and fame

Exotic ladies and gents all with ties

Pop bottles in their hands and their eyes telling lies

I was told that the fair was too high

More souls climb aboard and ride till they die

Oh, some say its final stop is hard as can be

Still I gotta ride that hellbound train

(Guitar solo)

Oh, some say its final stop is hard as can be

Now I can't get off this hellbound train
