In the middle of the desert,
In a town without a name,
A stranger came a-walking
With a suitcase & a cane
He asked the local barber
As he lit a wooden match:
Can you tell me where's the station
I have a train to catch.

The barber put his razor down
As he finished someone's hair,
Said I hate to tell you borther,
I hope you got time to spare.
You see, they tore down the station
& the tracks have long been gone:
A man could grow a beard out here
Just waiting for a train to come.

He was thinking of the ghost train
Passing through
Listen for the ghost train
Calling you
Hear the rumble of the ghost train
Coming after you
Waiting on the ghost train.

The man said I've got a ticket
& I'm gonna use it too,
I don't wanna cause trouble,
Hell, I'm only passing through.
Now you may think I'm crazy
But I have paid the price,
So while I sit here waiting
A haircut would be nice.

While I'm waiting on the ghost train
Passing trough
Listen for the ghost train
Calling you
Hear the rumble of the ghost train
Coming after you
Waiting on the ghost train

The barber offered him a chair
& said I'll shave you too.
You say you've got a ticket
But you didn't say where to.
The man looked at the barber,
Said I don't really know,
I bought this ticket years ago
Now the time has come to go.

On that ghost train
Passing through
Listen for the ghost train
Calling you
Hear the rumble of the ghost traint
Coming after you
Waiting on the ghost train

The stranger saw it coming
When the barber cut his troat
He was buried in the backyard
Wrapped inside a coat.
The barber turned the lights on
In the evening's fading glow
& somewhere in the distance
He could hear a whistle blow.

The whistle of the ghost traint
Passing trough
Listen for the ghost train
Calling you
Hear the rumble of the ghost train
Coming after you
Waiting on the ghost train

On the ghost train
Waiting on the ghost train
Waiting on the ghost train
Waiting on the ghost train
