Ghost Train To Nowhere

[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
