Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you wanna come too?
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
The train's leavin' just after dark
There's always room for a lovin' heart
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
I know my destination
It's a' waiting for me
I got no hesitation
That's where I want to be
And by the time that the sun comes up
I'll be drinkin' from a lovin' cup
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
Don't you wanna come?
Don't you wanna ride?
Don't you wanna be there by my side?
Hand in hand holdin' on to
A sweet salvation that's waitin' for me and you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you wanna sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a' ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Just close your eyes and let it flow
Lean your head back, let it go
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
Don't you wanna come?
Don't you wanna ride?
Don't you wanna be there by my side?
Hand in hand holdin' on to
A sweet salvation that's waitin' for me and you
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
I got my reservations
And I got one for you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you wanna sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a' ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Spirit move you, yeah
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
I know where I'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
