I'm in financial quicksand
Sinking deep in debt
The more I try to fight it
The deeper in I get

My bills keep piling to the sky
And my checks keep bouncing back
But still I know there's a ray of hope
If I keep on the right track

Cause, there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Like a rainbow shining through the rain
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Lord, (Lord, Lord) I hope it ain't no train

My kids think I'm made of money
But they can't comprehend
Every time I think I make ends meet
They up and move the ends

Seems like every dime is gone
Before I draw my pay
This ain't no crazy train I'm on
But I'm still trying to make the grade

There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Like a rainbow shining through the rain
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Lord, (Lord, Lord) I hope it ain't no train

They say that when it rains it pours
But it can't rain all the time
I know I'll find my pot of gold
Somewhere down the line

But, there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Like a rainbow shining through the rain
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Lord, (Lord, Lord) I hope it ain't no train

Oh Lord, I hope it ain't no train
