LAST TRAIN TO GLORY
Arlo Guthrie
Copyright 1973, Howard Beach Music ASCAP
CHO: I want to hop on the last train in the station,
Won't need to get myself prepared,
When you're on the last train to glory, people,
You'll know you're reasonably there.

Now maybe you ain't walked on any highways,
You've just been flying in the air,
But if you're on that last train to glory, people,
You'll know you must have paid the fare.

Now maybe you've been lying down in the jailhouse,
Now maybe you're hungry and poor,
Now maybe your ticket on the last train to glory,
Is the stranger who is sleeping on your floor.

Now I ain't a man of constant sorrow,
And I ain't seen trouble all day long,
We are only passengers on the last train to glory,
That will soon be long, long gone.
