Romero got married on the fifth of July  In our Lady of Immaculate Dawn  Could have got married in the revival man's tent  But there ain't no reviving what's gone  Slipped like a shadow from the family he made  In a little white house by the woods  Dropped the kids at the mission, with a rose for the virgin  She knew he was gone for good   It's a long way to Heaven, it's closer to Harrisburg  And that's still a long way from the place where we are  And if evil exists its a pair of train tracks  And the devil is a railroad car   Could have stayed somewhere but the train tracks kept going  And it seems like they always left soon  and the wolves that he ran with they moaned low and painful  sang sad misery's to the moon   Rose at the altar withered and wilted  Romero sank into a dream  He didn't make Heaven, he didn't make Harrisburg  He died in a hole in between  Some say that man is the root of all evil  Others say God's a drunkard for pain  Me I believe that the Garden of Eden  Was burned to make way for a train
