Lyrics

There is a gas station for lost souls in the desert
Called the "Last Stop Station", don't pass it by
If you are lost and afraid we got a good situation
We can fill you up if you are runnin dry

We got a sweet old man pumpin gas at the station
And a sweet ol gal is servin drinks with a smile
You can pull up to the bar for a refreshing libation
You can sit right down and rest your feet for awhile

Refrain:
It's "The Last Stop"
Come in and sit down by the fan
Its "The Last Stop Station"
Come get a drink while you still can
Its the "Last Stop"
Come every woman, everyman
There is a soul oasis in this desert land

We got a jukebox playin at the "Last Stop Station"
Playin good soul music make you laugh and cry
Folks like Grandma Moses singin songs of liberation
"We will understand it better by and by"

We got a news stand here at "The Last Stop Station"
We're spreadin real good news about the Beulah land
Some call it Zion, some call it The Holy Nation
There will be fountains flowing from the desert sand

Refrain: It's "The Last Stop".........

You can bring your heartache to "The Last Stop Station"
You can bring your anger and your burning pain
But you might leave here smilin like a new creation
You might leave here singin in the Latter Rain

We like to clean your windshield at the last stop station
So you can see real good whenever you drive away
But there are lots of rooms here, we got a good situation
You can rest for a spell if you need a place to stay

Refrain:'It's the Last Stop.............

There is a gas station for lost souls in the desert
It's called the "Last Stop Station", don't pass it by
If you are lost and afraid we got a good situation
We can fill you up if you are runnin dry

We got a sweet old man pumpin gas at the station
And a sweet ol gal is servin drinks with a smile
You can pull up to the bar for a refreshing libation
You can sit right down and rest your feet for awhile

It's "The Last Stop"
Come in and sit down by the fan
Its "The Last Stop Station"
Come get a drink while you still can
Its the "Last Stop"
Come every woman, everyman
There is a soul oasis in this desert land
