Lyrics
Stone Mountain train
It’s comin' down the mountain side
That Stone Mountain train
It's comin' down the mountain side
You know the driver loves to brake it
But the brakeman wants to let it ride
Stone Mountain train
It’s comin' down the mountain side
Stone Mountain train
It's comin' down the mountain side
You know the driver loves to brake it
But the brakeman wants to let it ride
Way up on the mountain
High above the meadow's glen
There's spirits in the shadows
And ghosts upon the wind
They're cryin' for release
And they're hopin' to be gone
To leave this lonesome valley
For the world out there beyond
But stranded here forever
Deserted for all time
They're hell-bent on hauntin'
The Stone Mountain line
Stone Mountain train
It’s comin' down the mountain side
That Stone Mountain train
It's comin' down the mountain side
You know the driver loves to brake it
But the brakeman wants to let it ride
When the moon is risin'
And the night is comin' on
You can hear that ol' engine
Just tryin' to get home
When it's pullin' up the backline
Crossin' through the slough
Makin' for the meadow
Down where everybody knows
It's safer on the lowland
If you gotta run at night
Just ask any driver
For the Stone Mountain line
Stone Mountain train
It’s comin' down the mountain side
That Stone Mountain train
It's comin' down the mountain side
You know the driver loves to brake it
But the brakeman wants to let it ride
Stone Mountain train
It’s comin' down the mountain side
That Stone Mountain train
It's comin' down the mountain side
You know the driver loves to brake it
But the brakeman wants to let it ride
When it's time for leavin'
You know there ain't no guarantee
That you'll meet up with St. Peter
Or the devil, Mr. D.
You can say your prayers at supper
You can say em' late at night
You can say em' in the mornin'
At the sun's first light
You can say them
Every time you hear that engine whine
Just thank god you ain't a driver
For the Stone Mountain line
Stone Mountain train
It’s comin' down the mountain side
That Stone Mountain train
It's comin' down the mountain side
You know the driver loves to brake it
But the brakeman wants to let it ride
Just let it ride...
