I sold my soul to a man at the railroad station, sayin "oh, let's go, let's go"
I said "I got no money to pay my way, but I'm runnin from the devil, gotta leave today. I'll do anything to get on that train, yeah I'll do anything to go, go, go, let's go.
I'll do anything to go, go, go."
he said "it looks like this is your lucky day, I got a one-way ticket and it's in your name. now I offer you this simple trade. You get the ticket and I get your soul, your soul.
you get the ticket and I get your soul."
before I knew it I had agreed and the ticket man turned out to be
the same scary little devil I was tryin to flee
and he wouldn't give back my soul, my soul.
no he wouldn't give back my soul.
so beware them traps the ol' devil lays and if you're runnin from some trouble,
better know the way. Always check the destination 'fore you board a train,
cause there's some places you don't wanna go, go go.
there are some places you don't wanna go.
