Robert Larkin Schultz - The Celestial Railroad Lyrics

I hopped on the 7:07
It's gonna take me
Straight up to heaven
While those suckers
Plow and struggle
Through the miry slough

Bogged down below
While we're up on this car
Drinkin' from an open bar
Playin' cards
And havin' a blast

We see their self
Flagellation
While we're up here
Takin' our intoxication
They say we're goin'
Much too fast

You've gotta take the way
That's slow and true
There's no cheatin' through
What you're doin's
Never gonna last

But we laugh at them
And keep on goin'
And our
Train ain't slowin'
It'll get there at seven
Or a quarter past

Meanwhile I met a girl
At the back of the train
And I ain't sayin'
But what a brain!
And we had ourselves a lot of fun
The pilgrims couldn't see us
Cuz we went into a tunnel
So we done what we done
Hidden from the sun

But - you guessed it
That tunnel didn't lead
Where I thought it would
We wound up where you go
When you're not so good

But I don't care
What's up there
When I got this little chick
Down here with me

And all those pilgrims
Well, they can
Take their reward
On the streets paved with gold

But whatever they got
It's not like what we've got
Whatever they've
Been told
