The song encourages listeners to leave behind sin and board the train headed to heaven, emphasizing the urgency and joy of the gospel message. The repeated imagery of the whistle and smoke reinforces the excitement of the spiritual journey, while the destination, salvation station in the sky, points to eternal life with God.

There's a train leaving from Calvary and it's goin' to salvation station
There's a train leaving from Calvary and it's goin' to salvation station
I'm gonna jump that train I'm gonna jump that train
I'm gonna jump that train oh Lordy I
I'm gonna jump that train I'm gonna jump that train
And we gonna reach salvation station in the sky
Gonna leave sin city leave it all behind
'Cause where we goin' they don't take that kind
Gonna leave sin city leave it all behind
'Cause where we goin' they don't take that kind
Can you hear that whistle blowin'
And can you see that black coal smoke?
Can you hear that ole whistle blowin'
Salvation station, that's where we goin'
