Now the night train is waitin' to take me away And I'm still feelin' guilty 'cause you're wantin' me to stay Well I know, how I know, it's harder on you But then you said it yourself, "There's nothin' else we could do"
When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the night Out there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' bright And it makes me feel better just to see it up there Hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
Now I know you've been waitin' but I'll be seein' you soon Meanwhile I just lay here starin' at the moon And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps And the train keeps on rollin' and it just rocks me to sleep
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
Now from city to city, it's four hundred miles And I'm bound to wake up every once in a while And it's then that I call out to some higher power And then I'll go back to sleep 'cause I'll be home in an hour
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home So goodnight, yeah goodnight Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
I'm goin' home tonight I'm goin' home tonight I'm goin' home tonight
