There's a Train a' Comin'

Music and lyrics by Rhoda Daniel, © 1991

Chorus:
There's a train a comin' and I wanna be on it I do, I do,
There's a train a comin' and I wanna be on it I do, I do.
There's a train a comin' and I wanna be on it,
It's bringin' me home, home to you!

It's been so long since I've been with you.
It's been too long and our times alone too few.
Finally I'm free to see my family.
Not all will agree, but me, I'm just glad to be!

(Chorus)

It's hard to realize until you go away,
The earth's a diff'rent size and you have so little say.
But maybe it's good to see through diff'rent eyes,
We've learned so many "shoulds" that only divide our lives.

(Chorus)

One thing I learned, one thing now I know,
No matter where I turn, without you life won't flow.
I'm comin' back to you no matter what the cost.
Yes, comin' back to you without you I feel like I'm lost!

(Chorus)

Go to There's a Train a Comin'
Go to Bible in Song for Children
Go to Public School Prayer

Inspiration

There's a Train a Comin' was written during Desert Storm for our men in uniform far from home, with a double entendre of Jesus's return. I always envisioned one of our male country singers singing it.

Acknowldgements

I want to thank both Robb Tripp and Walt Harrah for the wonderful job they both did to make this album a reality. I am grateful to you both; you are both gifted producers. And a special thank you to all the great musicians and arrangers who were a part of this project.

The original production under Robb Tripp in TN was titled: Country Christian and produced in the Nashville area with a live band of superb musicians. I could tell them what I was hearing for each song and they not only gave me what I asked, but way beyond as well.

Three songs were produced in CA with Walt Harrah. Besides being a producer, he is also a talented singer. I was delighted when he agreed to be the singer on both Fire Insurance (about accepting Jesus), and The Wolves Are Out (about the importance of judging by fruits). He was also my duet partner in 45 & Holding (about always putting God off). He's also particularly gifted at harmony. He could lay down 4 harmony tracks in succession without even one sour or missed note.
