about

Bonus track. This is the song as originally released on The Story Of The Tune in vinyl and cassette formats. The subsequent CD release contained an unedited - or less-edited - version, more than twice the length.

lyrics

​Lord if I've got my ticket, can I ride
If I've got my ticket, can I ride
Lord if I've got my ticket, can I ride
Up to heaven on that morning

Well I hear a lot of talk about the judgement day
I've got no time to forget the way
Away an’ by and by without a doubt
Jehovah will load up the train about

He's gonna clean out the world and leave no sin
I tell you brother, he is coming again
Lord if I've got my ticket (can I ride)
If I've got my ticket (can I ride)
Lord if I've got my ticket (can I ride)
Up to heaven on that morning

Well I hear a lot of talk about the gospel train
I've got no time to forget the way
Be down at the station right on time
If you’re not ready you'll be left behind

Clean out the world and leave no sin
I tell you brother he is coming again
Lord if I've got my ticket (can I ride)
Yeah if I've got my ticket (can I ride)
Lord if I've got my ticket (can I ride)
Up to heaven on that morning

Well I hear a lot of talk about the judgment day
I've got no time to forget the way
Away an’ by and by without a doubt
Jehovah will load up the train about

He's gonna clean out the world and leave no sin
I tell you brother he is coming again
Woah wo-oh-oh

Lord if I've got my ticket, can I ride
Lord if I've got my ticket, can I ride
Lord if I've got my ticket, can I ride
Up to heaven on that morning

I hear a lot of talk about a gospel train
Better be ready 'cause it's on its way
Be down at the station right on time
If you’re not ready you'll be left behind

Clean out the world and leave no sin
I tell you brother he is coming again, ooh

(Can I ride) [x4]

If I've got my ticket, can I ride
If I've got my ticket, can I ride
Well if I've got my ticket, can I ride
Up to heaven on that morning

Well I hear a lot of talk about a gospel train
You better be ready 'cause it's on its way
Be down at the station right on time
If you’re not ready you'll be left behind

Oh yes, you’ll be left behind
Ow

I’ve got my ticket, I’ve got my ticket

Buh buh buh buh buh buh buh

Well if I've got my ticket can I ride

If I've got my ticket, can I ride [x5]

I hear a talk about a gospel train
I think it's coming down the tracks
He will be down at the station right on time
So we’ve got no time to relax
You better get ready, I hear it coming
I hear it coming, I hear it coming down the tracks
I see that smoke, I see that smoke
I hear it coming, hear it coming down the tracks

I'm gonna get a new pair of shoes
I'm gonna get a long white robe [x2]

Ow, you know what I want
You know what I need
I need love
That's right
If I got my ticket can I ride

(Can I ride) [x4]

Ah way-ah way-ah
