Train Ride To Heaven by Mbo
(Words & Music by Matthew Richards)

Well, I'm a Carolina boy
And I'm so far away
From the one I love in Californ-i-ay
I'm gonna catch a train
Gonna catch a train
I'm catch a train out to the coast
Wanna be with the one that I love most
I'm gonna ride

Well, she's the sweetest thing
You ever did see
And I know her love's a-waitin' there for me
I'm gonna ride the rails
I'm gonna ride the rails
I'm gonna ride the rail until we've met
Then I'll give her a kiss that she won't forget!
I'm gonna ride

CHORUS:
Well absence makes the heart grow fonder
So they always say
And I believe it, 'cause I love her more
With every passing day
But the miles and miles between us
I wish I could erase
Then I'd be there, all wrapped up
In my angel's sweet embrace

They told me if my love is true
Then I gotta go and show her
But this old train couldn't get much slower
I'm gonna fix this train
Yeah, I'm gonna fix this train
I'm gonna power this train on rocket fuel
So I can give her my love in just a minute or two
I'm gonna ride

CHORUS

Yeah, I'll be riding those rails
Into the Western sunset
My heart beating faster the closer I get
I'm gonna ride the rails
I'm gonna ride the rails
Well, one day that girl's gonna be my bride
And trains I'll never have to ride again...

And it's then that her name will be known...
And she's never again gonna be alone!

CHORUS

Matthew Richards (2000)
