Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

Intro
(Upbeat stride piano riff with walking upright bass and light snare brush)
(Bass vocalist): Well, well, well...
(Quartet): Oh yeah!
[Verse 1]
(Lead Tenor)
I was walking down a dusty road, heavy was my load
Shadows hanging over every mile I’d ever strode
Didn't have a penny, didn't have a single prayer
Till I heard a gentle whisper floating through the morning air
[Pre-Chorus]
(Alto & Baritone join in harmony)
He said, "Child, lay your burdens down beside the riverside
There is grace enough to cover everything you tried to hide!"
[Chorus]
(Full Four-Part Quartet Harmony - Big, Joyful, Energetic)
Oh, I'm singing hallelujah on the glory bound train!
Washed clean in the mercy like a summer morning rain!
With the bass notes rolling and the tenor ringing high
We are marching into Canaan underneath a golden sky!
Yeah, my soul is happy and my spirit is set free
Thank the Lord for saving a sinner just like me!
[Verse 2]
(Baritone Lead with Quartet Oohs and Aahs)
Now the devil tried to tell me I was too far gone to save
That my sins would drag me down into a cold and lonely grave
So I opened up the Good Book and I read the words in red
And the chains fell off my shoulders just like Jesus said!
[Chorus]
(Full Four-Part Quartet Harmony - Driving Rhythm)
Oh, I'm singing hallelujah on the glory bound train!
Washed clean in the mercy like a summer morning rain!
With the bass notes rolling and the tenor ringing high
We are marching into Canaan underneath a golden sky!
Yeah, my soul is happy and my spirit is set free
Thank the Lord for saving a sinner just like me!
[Bridge]
(Music drops to just piano and handclaps)
(Bass Solo - Deep, resonant)
When the river gets wide... (Quartet: He's gonna carry me!)
When the mountains get high... (Quartet: He's right beside of me!)
(Tenor soars over the quartet)
I don't have to worry 'bout what tomorrow brings
'Cause I'm resting in the shelter of the King of Kings!
[Instrumental Break]
(Lively stride piano solo followed by weeping pedal steel guitar)
[Chorus - Key Change Up]
(Full Quartet - Maximum Energy, High Tenor Descants)
Oh, I'm singing hallelujah on the glory bound train!
Washed clean in the mercy like a summer morning rain!
With the bass notes rolling and the tenor ringing high
We are marching into Canaan underneath a golden sky!
Yeah, my soul is happy and my spirit is set free
Thank the Lord for saving a sinner just like me!
[Outro]
(Slowing down slightly, classic quartet tag ending)
Thank the Lord for saving...
(Bass drops low) A sinner just like me!
(Big final piano chord and four-part vocal hold)
A-men!

About this track

How this r&b & soul song was made.

“On the Glory Bound Train” is an AI-generated R&B & Soul song with vocals, 3:34 long.
