I know where I'm goin'
Don't you want to 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 want to come too?

I know my destination
It's a' waitng 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 want to come too?

I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to 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 want to come too?

And I got you for you
I know why I'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Spirit move you, yeah
