Life’s Railway To Heaven Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

[Intro]
Yeah, let's try it, let's see how that works
Go ahead and do it
Does he go verse, chorus, verse, chorus?
Yeah, verse, chorus, instrumental (Verse, chor— okay)
Verse, chorus instrumental then repeat chorus (Is—)
Is the intro gonna have a—
Like, is it gonna be like a full verse and chorus?
No, no he's got— (Just a—)
Show him what the intro is, Earl

[Verse 1]
Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful, from the cradle to the grave
Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels, never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail

[Chorus]
Blessed Savior, thou will guide us
'Til we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

[Verse 2]
As we roll along the mainline, there'll be storms and there'll be night
There'll be sidetracks unexpected on the left and on the right
But with the straight always before us and our hearts upon the prize
There'll be no disembarkation until we reach paradise
