Hellbound Glory

[Verse 1]
Well the devil came to me with the contact in his hands
Said he was lookin' for a pure shovelin' man
"You work for me, son, I'll pay you mighty well
"With a check addressed from hell"

[Verse 2]
Said "Mr. Devil, man, your deal sounds fine
"Tell me one thing before I sign the dotted line:
"If I go workin', boy, you're rollin' down that track
"How will I ever make it back?"

[Chorus]
He said "We're goin' ridin' on a hellbound train
"Hellbound Glory, yeah, that's its name"
I just been hired to pile on that coal
And watch them wheels roll

[Verse 3]
I went a-workin', Lordy, a-workin' on that train
Shovelin' coal into that red-hot flame
And I learned to my dismay
That track went one way

[Chorus]
And now I'm ridin' on that hellbound train
Hellbound Glory, yeah, that's its name
I just been hired to pile on that coal
And watch them wheels roll

[Bridge]
I don't know where I will go
I only know I pile on the coal
And watch them wheels roll
I will never make it back
I'm all the way down on the hellbound track
Headed straight for hell

[Chorus]
And now I'm ridin' on the hellbound train
Hellbound Glory, yeah, that's its name
I just been hired to pile on that coal
And watch them wheels roll

[Chorus]
And now I'm ridin' on the hellbound train
Hellbound Glory, yeah, that's its name
I just been hired to pile on that coal
And watch them wheels roll, roll, roll, roll
