[Verse 1]

Take your cocaine cloak bury it in sand

Slavery is fine when you're living on a dime

Take your earthly gold tryna fix it to your soul

Ain't never gonna stick so long as clocks a tick

[Chorus]

There's victory on a north bound train

With the rust to show it's been through the rain

Eighteen years brought my life to tears

When I outlived my last years

[Verse 2]

Take your shoes and your cap, won't you leave 'em at the door?

This ain't just a meal, it's the prayers before we kneel

Lift up your weary head and won't kiss the marks that heal?

And tears that fall will wash away the dust upon your lips

[Chorus]

There's victory on a north bound train

With the rust to show it's been through the rain

Eighteen years brought my life to tears

When I outlived my last years

There's victory on a north bound train

With the rust to show it's been through the rain

Eighteen years brought my life to tears

Eighteen years brought my life to tears

Ooh, yeah, no
