I left the station many years ago
Excited for what lay ahead
She stayed behind, so many miles although
I close my eyes and there she is

These wheels roll on from track to track
I ride across the land
Every mile brings me closer
The final stop is glory

On this train to eternity
I'll ride this train to eternity
And all the way down

People get on and they get off
Sometimes we become friends
But they cannot stay, for in the end
Our destinations aren't the same

Others try to ride along
But find they cannot pay the fare
Sometimes we pull into a station
But if you get off, you're nowhere

On this train... To eternity
I'll ride this train to eternity
And all the way down

Long ago I got my ticket
Never to be a slave
And I go the direction that I want
From greatness to the grave

On this train... To eternity
I'll ride this train to eternity
I'll ride this train to eternity
I'll ride this train to eternity
And all the way down
