Mackie sent me the lyrics just before my hard drive gave up on me. All up and running again now.
I tweaked a little and put music to it.
I may add another harmony voice later.
Suggestions welcome.

INTRO
Heaven’s Train’s coming one of these days
And all our troubles will be taken, taken away.

VERSE1
The track is narrow to the promised land
Believe in Him and take his hand
When darkness falls He’ll shine His light
No standin’ in line or tickets to buy.
CH
Heaven’s Train’s coming (it’s the gospel word)
Angels will be singin’ (“come on get on board”)
Only true believers (will get on to ride)
Heaven’s Train’s coming. It could be ..... It could be tonight.

..........................SOLO....................... as chorus

VERSE2
The Conductor says there’s room for all
Stand or sit, just heed His Call
The Pearly Gates will open wide
This line's for everlasting life
CH
Heaven’s Train’s coming (it’s the gospel word)
Angels will be singin’ (“come on get on board”)
Only true believers (will get on to ride)
Heaven’s Train’s coming. It could be ..... It could be tonight.
CH
Heaven’s Train’s coming it’s the gospel word
Angels will be singin’ “come get on board”
Only true believers will get to ride
Heaven’s Train’s coming It could be ..... It could be tonight.

TAG
Heaven’s Train’s coming.
Heaven’s Train’s coming.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

Mackie & Vic, I can hear the clickity clack as the train rolls down the track. You guys got a good one here. The Man in Black would surely love it. It would fit right in on his train LP.

As usual, Vic does a great job with the playing, singing and engineering. I can almost hear the Angels singing. But I hope not tonight.

A real fine job, gentlemen.

Vic/Mackie,

I really enjoyed this tune/performance/ & mix--very nice job. Perfect key for your voice Vic. This story has been done often, but always a popular story to tell--nicely done Mackey.

There are some things you could add to the mix, but I think this song sounds good without too much going on. A little harmony rather than a lot, keeps this one sounding less like a group and more like a singular artist which fits this music.

It might be interesting hearing a short solo interlude where you have the solo now, and possibly the main solo between the latter two choruses. I sort of felt that with this ballad a 2nd verse felt natural to me after the first chorus since you went into the chorus after one verse. (I like the chorus early though) My preference is usually for solos to be mid to later depending on the song--but there is always exceptions and of course different opinions.

Super job! I could listen to this one over and over.

steady-eddie.

Best of luck with this one Vic/Mackie

Hi Mackie and Vic,

I just escaped from the Devil's Train and I sure am RELIEVED to be on the right train now! I won't ever veer off on the wrong track again! LOL!

This does sound SO cool with Vic's Johnny Cash sound! I love what you've both created here!

Dan. As a fellow train song writer we appreciate those words
from you.
There's something about that clickety clack rhythm that I love.
Glad you liked it.

Mackie. Give me 10 years to get into training. You have to be fit to make an album.
Another 20 years to save enough to get the production done.
Hmmmmm, I wonder if I'll be too old then.
But, I really enjoyed doing this one with you.

Beautiful song. Loved it. Being new to the board, I must say I am somewhat surprised at all the train songs. Was there a theme this week or something? In any event, really great write, nice performance and eery how much THe Man in Black's imprint is on this song. Nice job.

STAN THE MAN--

WE ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR FEEDBACK--I ORIGINALLY WROTE THIS LYRIC AS THE LAST TRAIN. IT LAY DORMANT FOR A LONG TIME AND I DID SEVERAL RE-WRITES--VIC CHANGED SOME THINGS FOR THE BETTER, ESPECIALLY VERSE 2--

VIC IS GREAT TO WORK WITH--THAT MAKES IT EASY FOR ME--

YOU MAY HAVE TO DO A TRAIN SONG YOURSELF!

I thought the hook and melody were spot on and captured the feel of the song, which is everything. A few suggests:

A few timing issues against the beat early on but got better. These grooves are tough to get 100% correct.

Thought Tam's vocal fit nice in the mix; I might have come in on the last line of verse 2 w/a harmony as well.

Vic, I think the solo after chorus 1 is misplaced. Would rather hear it after chorus 2, then repeat your choruses as there's no bridge. Also, I'd open with a shorter version of that solo--more a riff, even bookending it at the end. But it has to be more precise than just meandering around. I would do a riff of more lower notes IMO.

Nice work all...always fun w/Mack!

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

Hi Travis.
Train songs and JC sort of go together.
We're happy you liked it.

Tammy's harmony really elevated the song to a new level.

Dave, welcome.
You can wait weeks for a train song, then you get a bunch of them in a day.

Zeek.
I have improved a couple of timing issues at the beginning.
(Not uploaded yet).
It's interesting what you say about the choruses and the instrumental. My original idea was to have a train arriving on a fade and also departing at the end without any instruments at all. Nothing is set in stone though. I may have another look at it.
Thanks for taking the time.
Vic

Thanks to the folks who even mention me, I was crazy happy to be a part of this wonderful song, a fantastic melody and lyric for sure!! I appreciate Vic's trust in giving me a shot to help with background vocals, his confidence in me does wonders for my self esteem and I am amazed by his talent and Mackie's wonderful idea for this lyric! Great song my friends!!
