[Chorus]
Oh, the rock island line is a mighty good road
Oh, the rock island line is the road to ride
Oh, the rock island line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you're flyin'
Get your ticket at the station on the Rock Island Line

Jesus died to save our sins
Glory to God, we're gonna meet him again

I may be right and I may be wrong
Know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
