Hi there. New member here, from Seattle. My brother sent me a compliation tape that had the most amazing song on it, but the tape didn't have any information on it, and then my tape player ate it! Argh! Anyways, if any of you can help me, I would appreciate it. The lyrics go something like this:

               Romero got married on the Fifth of July,
               in Our Lady of the Immaculate Dawn,
               He could've got married in the revival-mans tent
               There ain't no relyin' on whats gone

               They slipped like shadows from a family he made
               in a little white house by the woods
               Dropped the kids at the mission
               with a rose for the virgin
               She knew he was gone for good

               It's a long way to heaven,
               It's closer to Harrisburg,
               that's still a long way from the place where we are
               and if evil exists it's a pair of train tracks,
               and the devil is a railroad car...

Well, that's the first verses, and chorus. If you know it, please help! Looking to purchase a copy of the album it came from. Thank you and have a good day.
