Yeah in this sad world we live in the government bought all the trains
And there's a lot of lonely people and they're all flying aero-planes
And they think they're closer to Heaven, Lord, but that is far from true
You gotta take that ride down the River of Jordan, see what a boy from Galilee can do
ANd I say hey, ho, let it go, you're either gonna die young or you'll live to grow old
And go down to the river where the waters flow and like a Southbound train it's gonna lead you home
Let that Bible belt holy roll, I got a Baptist choir singing in my soul
Singin roll on, Jordan, roll
Still singin roll on, Jordan, roll
Yeah this sad world we live in, boys, it sure can get you down
When you can't seem to get your head on straight and your feet back on the ground
But I think every little thing's gonna be alright, yeah it's all gonna be okay
Because the sun's still shinin over my home town and I got a Saviour who knows my name
Chorus
