Life's Railway to Heaven |
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with Johnny Cash |
![]() |
Life is like a mountain railway, |
With an engineer that's brave. |
We must make the run successful, |
From the cra...dle to the grave. |
Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels, |
Never falter, never fail. |
Keep your hands upon the throttle, |
And your eyes upon the rail |
Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us, |
Til we reach that blissful shore, |
Where the angels wait to join us, |
In God's praise for evermore. |
Solo(Banjo, Fiddle) |
As we roll along the mainline, |
There'll be storms and there'll be night. |
There'll be sidetracks unexpected, |
On the left and on the right. |
But with the straight always before us, |
And our hearts upon the prize, |
There'll be no disembarakation, |
Until we reach paradise. |
Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us, |
Til we reach that blissful shore, |
Where the angels wait to join us, |
In God's praise for evermore. |
Solo(Dobro, Mandolin) |
Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us, |
Til we reach that blissful shore, |
Where the angels wait to join us, |
In God's praise for evermore. |
In God's praise for…. Ever….more.... |
