People Get Ready
[Verse 1: Heather Headley]
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
Don't need no ticket
You can just step on board
All we need is a little faith
To hear the diesel humming
We ain't got to have no baggage, Al
We can just thank the Lord
You tell 'em

[Verse 2: Al Green & (Heather Headley)]
People get ready
There's a train to Jordan (Yes, it is)
Don't need no ticket
You just step on board
All we need is faith to hear the diesel comin'
You don't need a ticket
You just thank the Lord

[Refrain: Al Green & Heather Headley]
I say thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
[Verse 3: Heather Headley]
Y'all got to get ready now
The train is comin'
You don't need no ticket
You can just step on board
But all you need is a little faith
You can hear the diesel runnin'
You ain't even got to have no bags
You can just get on board
Al, why don't you help me tell 'em

[Verse 2: Al Green & (Heather Headley)]
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Oh, the Master's comin'
Get on board (Yeah, yeah)
All we need is faith to hear the diesel hummin'
Oh, you don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord

[Refrain: Al Green & Heather Headley]
I say thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
[Bridge: Al Green & Heather Headley]
Why don't you play?
Yeah yeah
Time is windin' up

[Refrain: Al Green & Heather Headley]
I say thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank you, Lord; thank you, Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord

[Outro: Al Green, Heather Headley, Both]
Thank you, Lord
Oh, time, time, time is windin' up, y'all
