I've been working on a night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home
Well in a little country station Somewhere out in the midwest I see the people out there waiting Heart beating in my chest
And I'm thinking about a woman Who I would put no one above I'm not looking to replace her Just need someone to love
Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home
And I'm living in the city Where the noise, it never stops How much pounding on the pavement Whizzes from traffic cops
Nobody looks you in the eye here Walking around with clinched fists I've been searching for a simple place Don't know if it exists
There's a sunrise out there calling my name I can see her moving, I can see her moving
Well at a certain time of night, now I'll become one with the wind Where there isn't a beginning And there is no end
Oh when everything is flowing Everything is on time And I know that we're all going To the end of the line
Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home
Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home Trying to get us safely home Trying to get us safely home
