Railroad To Heaven

Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis

Life is like a mountain railroad

With an engineer that's brave

We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave



Watch it fill the curves and tunnels

Never falter, never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eyes upon the rail



Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

'Til we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In that great forevermore



As it stays I will guide us

'Til we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In that great forevermore

Railroad To Heaven

Jerry Lee Lewis remains one of rock and roll's most volatile and enduring figures, known for his thunderous piano playing and uninhibited stage presence. "Railroad To Heaven" captures the raw energy that defined his early career, blending gospel fervor with the driving rhythms of rockabilly. The track showcases his signature ability to transform spiritual themes into high-octane performances, utilizing his percussive piano style to create a sense of urgent motion. While often associated with his explosive hits from the late 1950s, this recording highlights the depth of his catalogue beyond standard chart successes. Lewis's interpretation of religious imagery through a secular, rock-and-roll lens continues to resonate, demonstrating his unique capacity to infuse traditional song structures with rebellious spirit and emotional intensity.
