[Verse 1]
Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun

[Verse 2]
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it's going to come

[Verse 3]
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again

[Verse 4]
Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun

[Chorus]
Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train

[Verse 5]
Get your bags together
Go bring all your good friends, too
'Cause it's getting nearer
Soon it will be with you

[Verse 6]
Now come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true

[Chorus]
Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train

[Verse 7]
Now I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we live in bliss

[Verse 8]
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Where peace train take this country
Come take me home again

[Chorus]
Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train

[Outro]
Ride - ride on the peace train

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
